I'm having a hard time understanding why the server software should be
the same for both video and audio, and why there shouldn't just be
separate players.
Want video? Install/run the video server software (optionally on the
same server a music server is running on).
The video player's probably going to be more of an internet video
player, but if it can run videos from your own server that's a feature
for at least some folks (and maybe the server can cache downloaded HD
movies for you so you can get full bitrate and no chance of a latency
problem)
It shouldn't be that hard to make it feel like a unified system. Make
sure the touch can also control the video gear, keep web UI of the two
server apps at least somewhat similar in look and feel. Make sure
there's a shared API (in the sense that both server apps support the
same API) for plugins, so plugin authors can do clever things.
