Felix Paul Kühne pushed to branch master at VideoLAN / VLC
Commits: f718ff1f by Tim Bolton at 2026-05-07T10:51:48+02:00 macosx: add m4b audiobook file type association .m4b (MPEG-4 Audiobook) files use the Apple system UTI com.apple.m4b-audio. VLC can already play these files, but it was not registered as a handler, so it did not appear in Finder's "Open With > Recommended Applications" list. This adds a CFBundleDocumentTypes entry for com.apple.m4b-audio with LSHandlerRank=Alternate so VLC appears as a recommended application without claiming ownership from Books.app. Note: the existing com.apple.m4a-audio entry does not explicitly declare LSHandlerRank, as Music.app's ownership makes VLC's Alternate rank implicit. For m4b, Books.app is the owner, so LSHandlerRank=Alternate is stated explicitly to ensure correct behavior.
