I saw a similar problem in 16.04 with PDFs being opened with
ImageMagick. Trying to open With Document Viewer and set that as the
default made no change. I saw in mimeapps.list that there was both an
image/pdf and an applications/pdf entry. I removed the image/pdf entry

I believe the bug here is that once you use System Settings Details
Default applications for audio or video you then cannot individually
change any related mime in nautilus properties of a a/v filetype to a
new default.
Test case:
delete ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
Open system
