Try the mixed library type or music videos library type. I think those library types will just show the file name if the metadata lookup fails.
actually the correct content type is 'Photos' for this use, it will be renamed in 10.9

just add a library and make it's type Photos, leave the defaults as it will grab keyframes for thumbs and everything looks good
This unfortunately is not usable. People just want to open an item and then click Next, and see all their photos and home videos one by one.
But in the Photos library:
- when you open a photo, and you go next and next and next, it never includes videos in the slideshow.
- you don't know that you've skipped videos in your slideshow.
- you can't group the Photos library by file type, so you have to fish for the videos among the photos.
- videos have a narrow non-landscape thumbnail and are hard to see (why the hell?).
- When you play a video you can't move to the next one like you can with photos. It takes 5 or 6 clicks to play the next video.
Not sure why you've engineered yourselves into such a complex corner instead of just playing all home videos and photos in your folder(s) one by one.
Do you expect us to split our vacation photos in folders by type? Not gonna happen.
A 3 sec video and a photo are the same thing.
