Register a media engine for both backends and *you* will get to decide based on
the content type. chooseBestEngineForTypeAndCodecs() in MediaPlayer.cpp always
iterates through every registered media engine when it is asked to open a
movie, asking each one if it supports the movie's (extended) MIME type, and
uses the one that claims to have the best support.
