Package: mplayer-gui Verison: 2:1.3.0-4 Hi.
I noticed mplayer-gui do not list the same set of MIME types as vlc in its desktop file. This causes the graphical file manager in the various desktops to not suggest mplayer-gui to play various audio and video formats when the user click on a media file. Here is the list of MIME types present in the vlc desktop file but missing in the mplayer-gui one. I compare with the vlc desktop file because it is the player with the most supported MIME types according to <URL: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport >. The MIME types marked (x) are official MIME types registered with the IANA MIME registry, and the ones marked (*) are MIME types returned by file --mime-type. Please consider adding these MIME types to the mplayer-gui.desktop file: application/sdp (x) application/vnd.ms-asf (x) application/x-quicktimeplayer (x) application/xspf+xml (x) audio/3gpp (x) audio/amr (x) audio/amr-wb (x) audio/mpegurl (x) audio/x-gsm (x) audio/x-ms-wax (x) audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin (x) audio/x-realaudio (x) video/fli (x) video/mp4v-es (x) video/x-ms-wm (x) video/x-ms-wmx (x) video/x-ms-wvx (x) audio/midi (x*) audio/x-pn-realaudio (x*) audio/x-m4a (*) audio/x-mod (*) video/x-flc (*) video/x-fli (*) video/x-m4v (*) application/mpeg4-iod application/mpeg4-muxcodetable application/vnd.ms-wpl application/vnd.rn-realmedia-vbr application/x-extension-m4a application/x-extension-mp4 application/x-flac application/x-flash-video application/x-matroska application/x-ogg application/x-quicktime-media-link audio/3gpp2 audio/dv audio/eac3 audio/m4a audio/mp1 audio/mp3 audio/mpg audio/opus audio/scpls audio/vnd.dolby.heaac.1 audio/vnd.dolby.heaac.2 audio/vnd.dolby.mlp audio/vnd.dts audio/vnd.dts.hd audio/wav audio/webm audio/x-aac audio/x-it audio/x-mp1 audio/x-mp2 audio/x-mp3 audio/x-mpeg audio/x-mpg audio/x-ms-asf audio/x-pn-aiff audio/x-pn-au audio/x-pn-wav audio/x-pn-windows-acm audio/x-real-audio audio/x-s3m audio/x-shorten audio/x-speex audio/x-tta audio/x-vorbis audio/x-xm image/vnd.rn-realpix misc/ultravox text/google-video-pointer text/x-google-video-pointer video/3gp video/divx video/flv video/mpeg-system video/msvideo video/vnd.divx video/x-anim video/x-avi video/x-mpeg video/x-mpeg-system video/x-mpeg2 video/x-ms-asf-plugin video/x-ms-asx video/x-theora x-content/audio-player x-scheme-handler/icy x-scheme-handler/icyx x-scheme-handler/mms x-scheme-handler/mmsh x-scheme-handler/rtmp x-scheme-handler/rtp x-scheme-handler/rtsp For the record, mplayer-gui support the following MIME types that are not listed in the vlc.desktop file. Perhaps you want to check if these are correct? audio/x-adpcm (*) application/smil application/vnd.adobe.flash.movie application/x-cd-image application/x-cue application/x-mpegurl application/x-netshow-channel audio/x-flac+ogg audio/x-m4b audio/x-voc video/x-flic x-content/audio-dvd -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
