Bug#842810: mpv: Add missing MIME types to desktop file?
Package: mpv Verison: 0.21.0-2 Hi. I noticed mpv do not list the same set of MIME types as vlc in its desktop file. This causes the graphical file manager in the various desktops to not suggest mpv to play various audio and video formats when the user click on a media file. Here is the list of MIME types present in the vlc desktop file but missing in the mpv one. I compare with the vlc desktop file because it is the player with the most supported MIME types according to https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport >. The MIME types marked (x) are official MIME types registered with the IANA MIME registry, and the ones marked (*) are MIME types returned by file --mime-type. Please consider adding these MIME types to the mpv.desktop file: application/vnd.ms-asf (x) application/x-quicktimeplayer (x) application/xspf+xml (x) audio/3gpp (x) audio/amr (x) audio/amr-wb (x) audio/x-gsm (x) audio/x-ms-wax (x) audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin (x) video/dv (x) video/fli (x) video/mp4v-es (x) video/vnd.mpegurl (x) video/x-ms-wm (x) video/x-ms-wvx (x) application/mxf (x*) application/x-shockwave-flash (x*) audio/basic (x*) audio/midi (x*) audio/x-aiff (x*) video/3gpp (x*) audio/x-mod (*) audio/x-musepack (*) video/3gpp2 (*) video/x-flc (*) video/x-m4v (*) application/mpeg4-iod application/mpeg4-muxcodetable application/ram application/vnd.apple.mpegurl application/vnd.ms-wpl application/x-extension-m4a application/x-extension-mp4 application/x-flac application/x-flash-video application/x-matroska application/x-quicktime-media-link audio/3gpp2 audio/AMR-WB audio/dv audio/eac3 audio/opus audio/vnd.dolby.heaac.1 audio/vnd.dolby.heaac.2 audio/vnd.dolby.mlp audio/vnd.dts audio/vnd.dts.hd audio/webm audio/x-it audio/x-matroska audio/x-ms-asf audio/x-ms-asx audio/x-pn-aiff audio/x-pn-au audio/x-pn-wav audio/x-pn-windows-acm audio/x-real-audio audio/x-s3m audio/x-speex audio/x-vorbis audio/x-xm image/vnd.rn-realpix misc/ultravox text/google-video-pointer text/x-google-video-pointer video/3gp video/divx video/flv video/mpeg-system video/vnd.divx video/x-anim video/x-mpeg-system video/x-ms-asf-plugin video/x-ms-asx video/x-nsv video/x-theora+ogg x-content/audio-cdda x-content/audio-player x-content/video-dvd x-content/video-svcd x-content/video-vcd x-scheme-handler/icy x-scheme-handler/icyx x-scheme-handler/mms x-scheme-handler/mmsh x-scheme-handler/rtmp x-scheme-handler/rtp x-scheme-handler/rtsp For the record, mpv support the following MIME types that are not listed in the vlc.desktop file. Perhaps you want to check if these are correct? application/x-streamingmedia application/streamingmedia audio/rn-mpeg application/x-smil application/smil audio/x-pn-windows-pcm video/x-ms-wvxvideo video/x-ms-afs audio/x-pls -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen

Could you ask upstream directly? https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/new Thanks, James signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[James Cowgill] > Could you ask upstream directly? I'm sorry, but I do not not plan to spend the time to do so. Other tasks will take priority. I already spent some time to fix my preferred player vlc by working with upstream, and sent the MIME type difference to the other players in Debian to make you aware of the situation and give you an opportunity to address it if you want to. Do with it as you please. :) -- Vennlig hilsen Petter Reinholdtsen
