Manual Testing until we have Unit- and UI-Tests ;)

Apply the magical patch with all the private keys and client secrets so that you can test cloud integration. Ask J-b or Felix

Make sure that at least the following works:

The main video controls
Subtitles
Chapter and track selection
Timer and the filters
Aspect ratio changes
The cloud integrations, especially login, log out, streaming and downloading
Wifi up and download
Local network (twonky server for example)
Deleting, renaming of files
Creating, moving in and out of folders

Look at the memory and performance while playing a video
