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) video/x-ms-wmv (x) video/mp4 (x*) video/x-matroska (x*) audio/basic (x*) video/quicktime (x*) audio/x-aiff (x*) video/x-ms-asf (x*) video/mpeg (x*) audio/mpeg (x*) application/ogg (x*) video/webm (x*) video/x-msvideo (x*) audio/x-pn-realaudio (x*) audio/x-wav (x*) video/x-flv (x*) audio/mp4 (*) audio/x-flac (*) audio/x-mod (*) audio/x-musepack (*) audio/x-mp2 application/x-mplayer2 audio/x-mp3 application/vnd.rn-realmedia audio/x-matroska video/x-theora audio/x-oggflac video/x-flic application/x-ogg video/x-avi video/avi application/smil video/x-ogm x-scheme-handler/pnm video/vnd.rn-realvideo audio/vnd.rn-realaudio video/x-ms-wmp video/mediaplayer application/x-kmplayer audio/x-vorbis audio/vorbis x-scheme-handler/mms x-scheme-handler/rtspt audio/x-m3u audio/m3u x-scheme-handler/rtspu video/flv audio/x-speex audio/x-ms-asx 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 audio/m3u audio/vorbis audio/x-m3u audio/x-oggflac video/avi video/mediaplayer video/x-flic video/x-ms-wmp video/x-ogm x-scheme-handler/pnm x-scheme-handler/rtspt x-scheme-handler/rtspu
[Petter Reinholdtsen] Gah, cut-n-paste error. The list I sent is not correct. This is the list of MIME types present in vlc.desktop but missing in kmplayer.desktop: application/sdp (x) application/x-quicktimeplayer (x) audio/3gpp (x) audio/amr (x) audio/amr-wb (x) audio/flac (x) audio/x-gsm (x) audio/x-ms-wax (x) audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin (x) audio/x-realaudio (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) video/x-ms-wvx (x) application/mxf (x*) application/x-shockwave-flash (x*) audio/midi (x*) audio/ogg (x*) video/3gpp (x*) video/ogg (x*) audio/x-ape (*) audio/x-m4a (*) 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-flac application/x-flash-video application/x-matroska application/x-quicktime-media-link audio/3gpp2 audio/AMR audio/AMR-WB audio/aac audio/ac3 audio/dv audio/eac3 audio/m4a audio/mp1 audio/mp2 audio/mp3 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/wav audio/webm audio/x-aac audio/x-it audio/x-mp1 audio/x-mpeg audio/x-mpg audio/x-ms-asf audio/x-pn-aiff audio/x-pn-au audio/x-pn-wav audio/x-pn-windows-acm audio/x-real-audio audio/x-s3m audio/x-shorten audio/x-tta audio/x-vorbis+ogg audio/x-wavpack audio/x-xm image/vnd.rn-realpix misc/ultravox text/google-video-pointer text/x-google-video-pointer video/3gp video/divx video/mp2t video/mpeg-system video/msvideo video/vnd.divx video/x-anim video/x-mpeg video/x-mpeg-system video/x-mpeg2 video/x-ms-asf-plugin video/x-ms-asx video/x-nsv video/x-ogm+ogg 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/mmsh x-scheme-handler/rtmp x-scheme-handler/rtp x-scheme-handler/rtsp
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.
