Subject: totem: Should provide different desktop files for different backends
Package: totem
Version: 1.2.1-3
Severity: wishlist
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi,
I'm always struggling between gstreamer and xine backends ...
Well, I think two different MIME handler schemes should be provided
for these two backends. The reason is, gstreamer and xine have not
the same capabilities of playing media files. For example, totem-xine
cannot play flash, and totem-gst cannot open rmvb files on the other
hand. So, it may be appropiate if totem-xine and totem-gst have
different MIME handler configuration sections in their desktop files.
Thank you.

The list of supported MIME types is more or less a suggestion. Both the
xine and -gstreamer backends support different filetypes depending on
what plugins are installed.
Totem could give better error messages when a specific filetype isn't
supported (telling the user what to install) but there are already open
bugs about that.
I'm closing the bug for now, but if you strongly disagree, it can be
reopened.
