We've added support for mediaplayer-app to be a conent-hub desitination for videos such that they can be opened directly rather than having to go through gallery. Note that the video will be imported into ~/Videos, which is also read by gallery, so the video will be correctly available in gallery to view at a later time after you close mediaplayer-app
Comment #3 is still valid. Filemanager should request to open videos via url:// rather than content-hub operation. ** Changed in: mediaplayer-app (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => In Progress ** Also affects: canonical-pocket-desktop Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Milestone: backlog => ww04-2016 ** Changed in: canonical-pocket-desktop Assignee: (unassigned) => Bill Filler (bfiller) ** Changed in: canonical-pocket-desktop Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: canonical-pocket-desktop Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: mediaplayer-app (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Renato Araujo Oliveira Filho (renatofilho) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu File Manager Developers, which is subscribed to Ubuntu File Manager App. Matching subscriptions: File Manager App Bugmail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518332 Title: Media player not registered with file manager as a handler for .MP4 files....
