No, you cannot dictate how the view displays, but you can specify the content type to use. If it's a movie one, then setContent to movies. The skin will then make the movie style views available for the user to choose from.
Ofcourse, it's up to the user to decide what they actually want to view the content.
Cheers,

Ofcourse - just set the appropriate properties/infolabels.

Are you running in the plugin in Library mode or regular?
Some views are only available in library mode from my experience.

I am running it in normal mode - How can I turn it into library mode so the view becomes available?

In confluence it is a little check box on the left side. Under "view" and "sort". If it is greyed out then the library is empty.

but is it impossible to force the library/movie view to happen from a video plugin side?

Again, it's up to the skin as to what views they offer in file mode.
And yes, it is impossible for a plugin to force a view (as it should be) as this is the choice of the user.

I strongly recommend against doing that.
Have you tried it from library view?
