media_plugins are spawned as a *separate process* to the viewer you
cannot set a break point in a media plugin or the base media plugin
files and expect to hit it from snowglobe, you will need to start
snowglobe then attach the debugger to the plugin process once it has
started, then you can do usual debugging. but you also need to disable
the watch dog in snowglobe or your breaking the plugin will make it
think the plugin has died and snowglobe will ignore it.
