I just installed smplayer like this: sudo apt-get install smplayer Then I went to System Settings > Details (poorly named) > Default Applications
I changed both video and audio to be handled by default with smplayer (I actually suggest making it the default player in the upcoming release). However, if I now go to an audio or video file, and double-click them, they still open in Rhythmbox and Totem (respectively). Changing default applications doesn't work yet in 12.04 Beta 2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876897 Title: Changing Default Application for Music/Video/Photos has no effect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/876897/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
