Hi.

I noticed kmplayer 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 kmplayer 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 kmplayer 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-ytpe.

Please consider adding these MIME types to the kmplayer.desktop file:

audio/x-ms-wma (x)
application/vnd.ms-asf (x)
application/xspf+xml (x)
audio/x-mpegurl (x)
audio/mpegurl (x)
audio/x-scpls (x)

For the record, kmplayer support the following MIME types that are not
listed in the vlc.desktop file.  Perhaps you want to check if these are
correct?

application/smil
application/x-kmplayer
application/x-mplayer2

I've updated the list on
<URL: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport >, and now
kmplayer is listed with 57 mime types supported in its desktop file.
The only package listing fewer mime types in itsd desktop file is
dragonplayer.

For comparison, smplayer list 151 mime types, and I suspect they use the
same underlying mplayer engine and support the same set of file formats.

Please review the list of mime types listed in the kmplayer desktop file to
ensure it is correct and complete.
