Summary:
When presenting UIImagePicker to select a movie from photo gallery, it shows albums that do not contain any movies and their description is misleading

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a simple app that presents an image picker for selecting a movie from photo gallery
Sample code:
        let pickerVC = UIImagePickerController()
        pickerVC.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
        pickerVC.mediaTypes = [kUTTypeMovie as String]
        self.presentViewController(pickerVC, animated: true, completion: nil)

2. Run application on the device that has albums without movies

Expected Results:
Albums that do not contain only movies are not listed at all.
Each list item displays
- a preview of contained movie(s)
- album name
- amount of contained movies

Actual Results:
All albums are shown
Album description shows the total (movies + images) number of items in the album
Album preview displays previews of contained images (not movies)
