One of those examples is a music player and the other only shows the
capabilities of the media backend on the user's machine.

The capabilities.py example is useful because it should show whether
QuickTime is supported by the user's system. You may be able to download
codecs on certain systems that will enable the media backend to play
QuickTime files. Where you get those from and how they are installed depends
on the system in use.
