Totem is launched I just tried xdg-open on a local ogv file, as well as: xdg-open http://audio-video.gnu.org/video/20110420-a-free-digital-society.ogv on my computer (F14, KDE). In both cases, it runs Kaffeine just fine. (I haven't tested all the other bazillion video MIME types, but I guess it will be the same.)

Hi, Wiadomość napisana w dniu 2011-05-25, o godz. 00:31, przez Domingo Becker: 2011/5/24 Nicoleau Fabien nicoleau.fab...@gmail.com: Hi, I'm packaging a software that downloads videos from websites like youtube, dailymotion, etc ... (...) My question is : what am I suppose to set in Requires field for the package ? totem ? something generic ? nothing ? I play videos downloaded from websites like the ones you mention with totem (.flv and .mp4). The Requires would be totem and gstreamer-ffmpeg (from rpmfusion- free). Please, no! I think I wouldn't be the only person really pissed, when some package tries to fetch some media player whcih I don't need because I use a different one. regards, JG. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

FWIW, Totem has builtin support for quvi (I've been in touch with the upstream author who made quite a few changes for it to be usable within Totem).

Well, vlc is not shipped in Fedora :) Requiring something generic doesn't make sense IMHO if the package is not able to use something generic.
