MediaItem object must support additional parameters

[rohansohonee]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the MediaItem object is very bare bones. This means that certain queue operations such as playnext do not work since there is no index.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like certain additional parameters added to MediaItem object:

1. index (int)
2. url/file path (string)
3. play count (int)
4. last played (dateTime or int)

These are very common parameters and can help other developers from not needing to keep converting their custom object to the mediaItem object.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently i am converting my custom object to mediaitem object. But since index parameter is not present in mediaitem object i am unable to perform playnext operation in queue. playnext operation adds duplicate mediaitem's to the queue and thus index parameter is needed.

I think this would best be handled by #132 . Would you be OK with that?

[rohansohonee]

#132 will handle url/file path parameter.
But I need index parameter in mediaitem object.
The index parameter will allow me to search for song in queue.
Currently when user adds a song to queue, he/she can add the same song (id) again. This makes searching for song at index not possible.

#132 is a feature request to add arbitrary metadata to media items in the form of key/value pairs, so if it were implemented, you could store any additional and unforeseen metadata that you need, as long as it can be encoded in simple data types.

Sounds good

Duplicate of #132
