Summary0010826: Unsupported formats shouldn't stop the playlist / should be better handled
DescriptionCurrently, when MMA comes across an unsupported format, it stops playback and displays the incompatible type error message. Clicking "OK" to acknowledge it, brings the user back to the last viewed tracklist, and clicking 'next' resumes playback with the next track.

From a usability perspective, it would be preferable:
o For Audio files, that playback of the next file should continue automatically. i.e. the dialog should be informational only. Even better, the failure should be indicated through a 'toast' notification.

o For Video files, MMA should give the user the option to play the file in an external (or the default) player. e.g.
Unsupported file format!!!
[Play in an external video player] [Cancel]

Clicking 'Play in external...' could then open the choose default video player dialog.

Note: MX player has good API on how to instruct playback and after Stopping/Using Back Button it return to Parrent App (EG. ES File Explorer from my tests) in our case to MMA. See details at: https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/api

This should probably be handled in the same manner as 0012301. i.e.
Give a single toast message, and proceed to the next playable track. Toast messages discussed in related bugs:
Skipping inaccessible tracks
Skipping tracks (missing codec)
