 * Class is used as an interface of the video collection QT wrapper.

 * 

 * Singleton instance is deleted when it's not used anymore by clients. At instantion time  

 * reference count is incremented. Client must call decreaseReferenceCount when it doesn't 

 * need the instance anymore. When reference count is 0 the instance is destroyed.

 * 

 * * Usage:

 *  @code

 *  #include "videocollectionwrapper.h"

 *  #include "videosortfilterproxymodel.h"

 *  

 *  ...

 *  ////

 *  // Getting the instances

 *  ////

 *  VideoCollectionWrapper *wrapper = VideoCollectionWrapper::instance();

 * 

 *  VideoSortFilterProxyModel *model = wrapper->getModel();

 *  ...

 *  ////

 *  // Opening collection and start fetching video item data

 *  ////

 *  if(model)

 *  {

 *      mModel->open(VideoListWidget::ELevelVideos);

 *  }

 *  // see model documentation for the open funtionality

 *

 *  /////

 *  // Instance is not used anymore. 

 *  // Wrapper owns the model, so client should not deallocate it

 *  /////

 *  wrapper->decreaseReferenceCount();

 *  wrapper = 0; // Don't use before new instantion.
