/**
* Bare bones showing how to "play" static images in a play-list.
* <p>
* A proper application would embed a video player and so on, the points to illustrate here are a)
* playing an image is just like playing any other file, and b) you specify the image duration using
* a media option.
* <p>
* If you do not specify an "image-duration=" media option, you will get a default length of ten
* seconds.
* <p>
* You can also add for example vlc://pause:30 to "play" a delay of 30 (or whatever you want)
* seconds. This is not to be confused with the media option for image-durations previously
* described.
* <p>
* Note that you can "play" images from any source that vlc can play - not just local files, but
* things like http: too.
* <p>
* Large images can cause problems for vlc when it tries to create the video output - for this
* reason it is usually better to use an {@link EmbeddedMediaPlayer} linked with the
* {@link MediaListPlayer}. That way the size of the video surface can be controller. If this is not
* done, fatal application crashes due to vlc choking on the image file can occur.
