Just to make things clear - those video are, normally, working in media player, and this skipping video fenomena is not related to being unable to play something.

Why I know it's kipping through videos? Despite it doing it fast, sometimes, I see first frame for a fraction of second. It may be related to problem observed by merlin.
I remember stumbling upon something like that in the past, but I never could pin down the origin. I tried with going to the tasknav after exiting a video, but it's not happening. I guess I'll have to prepare some Theora or broken videos and also try with that.

Ideally if possible, make OMP do a light 'beep' like the FM transmitter in standby does; so you know playback will resume.

I could see this being a potentially useful option for videos too.
If you are interupted by a call mid-video, you many have to set the stand back up or plug in the TV out etc after the call.
While your doing this the video will be playing and you will have to skip back to see what you missed.
I thought of it and in my opinion even better would be music fading in. There would be 3-5 seconds before full volume is reached, the warning sound would be the music itself and it's also a neat effect.

Highly unlikely. OMP doesn't stay in the background if you close it, so it cannot resume playback.

I doubt it has any significant effect on battery, unless most of your songs are 10 seconds long.

I think it's too dangerous. If you want it badly, you could try with a simple script, which would start playback through D-Bus and then launch OMP.

It's currently missing, but expect it in the next update.

Mostly I use OMP in the car, so I wonder if you see a chance for an option to start OMP directly with the car view. Maybe via a command line parameter which I can use with a dbus call?
Yes, good idea.

If MAFW reports an error, OMP often spits it out on the console. Run it from the terminal and watch the output when you try to play an .ogg, maybe that will give some clue.
