I still get Video .ts files recognised as text/vnd.trolltech.linguist in up to
date Ubuntu 11.04 - see attached file (this file can be viewed with VLC video
player)
These .ts video files are recorded with VLC video player from DVB-T broadcast
(H264 AVC format)

Title:
.ts files always get recognized as application/x-linguist and never as
video/mp2t (mpeg transport stream)
Status in shared MIME database:
Fix Released
Status in “shared-mime-info” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: shared-mime-info
I checked Hardy, Jaunty and Karmic: *.ts files are always mapped to
application/x-linguist by
/usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml. But there are several
Linux-based settop boxes that record videos in *.ts-files. So if
application/x-linguist is obsolete then it should simply be replaced
by video/mpeg. Otherwise the mime framework has to distinguish such
files by inspecting their headers. If someone knows more about
x-linguist files, please add a comment!
The problem has already been reported upstream two month ago (see
freedesktop.org above). But for 10.04 LTS we should fix it by a patch,
if it is not fixed upstream by then.
As a workaround copy the attached file to
~/.local/share/mime/packages/mpeg-ts.xml and update your mime-database with:
$ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime
To trigger the regeneration of failed thumbnails just delete them:
$ rm ~/.thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory/*.png
