I edited the gnome-vfs.applications file under /usr/share/application-registry and was sucessful in making the nautilus file manager use realplayer as the default application for real media files. But when I click on an mp3 file in nautilus, they are still handled by jmplay. I tried editing the gnome-vfs.keys and gnome-vfs.mime files under /usr/share/mime-info and this had no effect, mp3 files were still handled by jmplay in nautilus.
I then commented out all lines pertaining to jmplay in gnome-vfs.applications and did another test. When I clicked on an mp3 file in nautilus it gave me a popup asking for me to associate the mp3 file to an application. The mime type in properties was audio/x-mp3. I made sure that the mime types audio/x-mp3, audio/mpeg. and audio/x-mp3-playlist were speified under realplayer in the gnome-vfs.applications file. I then tried another test and I still got the popup asking for me to associate the file type with an application of my choice. I believe that maybe there is another location besides /usr/share/mime-info and /usr/share/application-registry that nautilus checks in for the default application for mp3. My goal is to do this without changing any client side files. Please help. Does anybody have a realplayer.mime and a realplayer.keys file they can give me? I can edit them to match my environment.
