Seb, I have tried to set the association with Nautilus now and now Chromium uses VLC. Looking into the ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list I see the difference now. The "audio/x-mpegurl=vlc.desktop" has to go into the "[Default Applications]" section and not into "[Added Associations]".
It is not very intuitive that you have to set the file association to be used to open a file by Chromium in Nautilus. Perhaps Chromium should have some file association setting menu where one can select a file type and then Nautilus' properties dialog for this file gets opened. Anothjer observation is that if I click a TV station icon in Chromium now, the file is downloaded and listed as a downloaded file at the bottom of the Chromium window. Then I have to click it there to open. Is there a way to make it open directly? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311322 Title: Personal configuration for mime type handling not respected, configuration way to complicated and unintuitive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/desktop-file-utils/+bug/1311322/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
