Control player with game controller
I personally like to watch videos while lying in bed across the room from my PC, lots of my mates use their PC as the primary media device in their room too, but not everyone has a wireless keyboard/mouse combo and very few have a media pc remote, however wireless game controllers are ubiquitous and cheap. In addition we don't need to support a wide range of controllers because SDL2 has vala bindings and abstracts the layout of "dualshock" style controllers to a set of standard axes and button names.
Current behaviour: Videos does not respond to gamepad input.
Improved behaviour: Videos maps controller buttons to playback and playlist functions so wireless gamepads can be used as media remotes.
