UX: Improve playing videos in search results and albums #935

On mobile devices videos don't have play buttons. When you click on a thumbnail the video does not start playing but only the sidecar preview image is shown.

There is a small video icon on the top left corner of the thumbnail. To play the video you either have to click that tiny icon or you have to open the sidecar image and click the same tiny icon after the title of the video.

To make it more confusing - when the sidecar image is shown there is the play button on the top of the screen. Which does not play the video but starts the slideshow of the pictures.

I think it's a bit cumbersome. It took me a couple of minutes to actually sort out how to play the videos on mobile. Maybe I am a bit too slow but maybe we can come up with a more user friendly way of playing videos on mobile devices.

Thanks.
