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 settings > Details > default apps.. & set the default for either
audio or video to some other player
(Ex. video to vlc
Then right click on a related filetype > properties > open with & try to set to
another player, it will not do so
(ex. r. click on a .mp4, try to set to Videos
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)

Title:
Can't change default "Open with" application
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I am on Ubuntu 13.10 using nautilus 1:3.8.2-0ubuntu2.2.
I am trying to change default application to open .avi files. I right-
click an .avi file select "Properties", go to "Open With". There is a
default application there (banshee) and recommended (VLC media
player). I select VLC media player and click "Set as default" button,
selection jumps back to banshee, "Set as default" button disabled and
nothing else happens. Nautilus still opens .avi files with banshee.
