*ISSUE:*
The API is now returning a mediaStatus field for files. This can be one of these values: MEDIA-NONE, UPLOAD-INPROGRESS, UPLOAD-COMPLETE, TRANSCODE-COMPLETE, TRANSCODE-FAILED or MEDIA-READY.
For display in the albums and in the app, we are going to focus only on MEDIA-READY files for now, so we will filter out the files for display that are any of the other statuses. The only exception is for when we are actually uploading on the device - we still need to show the regular uploading progress as it happens, but on other devices we won't show the new file until it shows MEDIA-READY. If the upload or transcode fails and is no longer in progress, we will no longer show the file.
The main issue we have been seeing here is that uploads aren't completing correctly due to backend service issues, leaving files that have bad statuses, but the app is still showing them. Then, the user attempts to play back a video, and it fails.
