In Totem, we save streams that aren't valid URIs per se under a separate group in the recent-files.

We set a completely bogus mime-type, because you can't get a mime-type for an MMS stream. The panel then complains that it "Could not find a suitable application".

gnome-panel should use gtk_recent_info_get_application_info() to use the application that saved the recent file item in the first place to launch the recent file.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
