Package: xine-ui Verison: 0.99.9-1.2 Hi.
I noticed xine-ui 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 xine-ui 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 xine-ui one. I compare with the vlc desktop file because it is the player with the most supported MIME types according to <URL: 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 xine-ui.desktop file: application/sdp (x) audio/3gpp (x) audio/amr (x) audio/amr-wb (x) audio/x-gsm (x) video/dv (x) video/fli (x) video/mp4v-es (x) video/vnd.mpegurl (x) video/x-ms-wm (x) video/x-ms-wmx (x) application/mxf (x*) application/x-shockwave-flash (x*) audio/midi (x*) video/3gpp (x*) audio/x-ape (*) video/3gpp2 (*) video/x-flc (*) video/x-fli (*) video/x-m4v (*) application/mpeg4-iod application/mpeg4-muxcodetable application/ram application/vnd.apple.mpegurl application/vnd.ms-wpl application/vnd.rn-realmedia-vbr application/x-extension-m4a application/x-extension-mp4 application/x-matroska application/x-quicktime-media-link audio/3gpp2 audio/AMR audio/AMR-WB audio/aac audio/dv audio/eac3 audio/m4a audio/mp1 audio/mp2 audio/mpg audio/opus audio/scpls audio/vnd.dolby.heaac.1 audio/vnd.dolby.heaac.2 audio/vnd.dolby.mlp audio/vnd.dts audio/vnd.dts.hd audio/vnd.rn-realaudio audio/webm audio/x-aac audio/x-matroska audio/x-mp1 audio/x-mp2 audio/x-mp3 audio/x-mpg audio/x-ms-asf audio/x-ms-asx audio/x-shorten audio/x-speex audio/x-tta audio/x-vorbis audio/x-vorbis+ogg image/vnd.rn-realpix misc/ultravox text/google-video-pointer text/x-google-video-pointer video/3gp video/divx video/mpeg-system video/vnd.divx video/vnd.rn-realvideo video/x-avi video/x-mpeg-system video/x-mpeg2 video/x-ms-asx video/x-nsv video/x-ogm+ogg video/x-theora 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, xine-ui support the following MIME types that are not listed in the vlc.desktop file.
