'Now playing' better accomodates videos with metadata, which otherwise would require a simple type of support to be ignored.

We could:
1) Keep the current default template and leave it up to the user to change the template to accomodate video metadata.
2) Use a more generic approach like the one in this patch.
3) Do the minimum required to ignore videos.
4) Provide a separate template for videos.

A mimetype lookup from filename can be done on playback change, xesam:url isn't required but is implemented by most players. IMO the mpris specification should at least clarify xesam:Media(filetype:audio or filetype:video) for the metadata field.
