Public bug reported:

Changing the default video player in system settings seems to have
absolutely no effect. I observed this behaviour on a clean install of
precise beta 1, and precise beta 1 with all updates.

For example if I change the default player from totem to gnome-mplayer,
or vlc player all of my videos still open in totem (.avi, .mkv).

Changing the default video player should associate the chosen player
with all known video filetypes. The current behaviour makes the option
useless/broken, since I have to manually right click > properties > open
with > set as default to get it to work.
