Re: [arch-general] associations for chromium

For those who use a DE like KDE/Gnome most probably everything works out of box. There is an article in wiki how to use chromium with no DE [1]. It suggest to use mimeo and xdg-utils-mimeo, but it simply does not work (at least in my case). For those who are interested to read further the details are below. When I click a link pointing to mms:// stream chromium pops up a message that it's going to use xdg-open to handle it. The xdg-utils-mimeo allows to associate a protocol with an application, which I already has done - set to mplayer. Instead it tries to open smplayer with no (or bad) link passed. I've uninstalled smplayer and it tried to use realplayer, I've uninstalled realplayer and now it uses vlc. I couldn't find where that sequence is hardcoded. But now I see that the link itself is getting transformed in something weird: 8 File reading failed: VLC could not open the file /etc/X11/mms:/ 76.191.112.53/streams_e/stb1_s_8b700762e4ba88f62c33ce2291e1baaa.wmv.

Anyone know how to tweak this? It depends on a lot of things, including your DE. It sounds like you are using KDE; if you are true a hard-core KDE user, you are probably using KDE 4.x, in which case you can set it in systemsettings default applications. Otherwise it's somewhere in kcontrol. In GNOME, it's something like Preferred Applications. So basically, this is a non-answer.
