Package: mpv Version: 0.5.3-1 Severity: important User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: debian-edu
Please add video/ogg to the mpv desktop file, to indicate that mpv can play Ogg Theora files. This is the use case: I record a screen session using gtk-recordmydesktop, and when I stop the recording it store the video as Ogg Theora and I end up with a file out.ogv in my home directory. I next visit the KDE file manager, and click on the video to play the recording. The audacity program is started, and it fail to display anything and just hang. I believe the same problem happen with other file managers too, but have not checked them all. The audacity hang of course is an error in itself, but the real error here is that the wrong program is started. For Ogg Theora files, it would be better if mpv or another installed video player is started. The audio tools are not fit for the task! For this to work, the "file --mime-type out.ogv" program should not return "application/ogg" but a video related MIME type like "video/ogg", and all video players capable of playing Ogg Theora files should list that MIME type in their .desktop file. I've asked for file to change behavour (bug #762561), and now ask the video players to change their list of MIME types handled and add "video/ogg". Please add it before Jessie to make this happen. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
