I reported this bug and it was fixed in March 2010. If you see new problems then please feel free to open a new bug report! Describe the exact situation: does it fail with local ts-files? or only on network shares (samba)? Are the files encrypted or playable with your videoplayer? Do you use Nautilus or another file browser? Add version numbers of everything, ect... And leave a comment here with a link to your new bug report to help affected people follow you. To solve it yourself try my final patch from comment #20. I just checked my Linux Mint 17.1 which is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: its file browser Nemo (= Nautilus clone) does recognize my ts-files correctly as MPEG-2 transport stream, locally and remote through NFS. I have no samba network shares. My ts-files were recorded by my settop- box and are not encrypted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to shared-mime-info in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502642 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.

I hate to say it, but as part of a small paid open source development team with a very active community bug tracker for our own product, which is not supposed to prevent us from working on the features we need to implement (for the paying customers who make the open product possible) I can very well understand why this is still an issue after four, five or whatever years. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to shared-mime-info in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502642 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.

I don't understand why this is still an issue after 4 years. I make it closer to five years.
