Description Pedro Castro 2010-01-17 16:05:59 UTC 
The use of video extensions should be more uniform, case insensitive and reusable (consider using MIME types).
Comment 1 Pedro Castro 2010-08-04 10:55:59 UTC 
M2t files aren't being listed.

Patch for 607228

Add a patch for this. Just add the mime type video/* according gstreamer manual in http://www.gstreamer.net/data/doc/gstreamer/head/pwg/html/section-types-definitions.html#table-video-types.

OK
Comment 4 Pedro Castro 2010-12-29 01:27:00 UTC 
Status note: the patch that uses mime types in the video open dialog has been committed. It's only missing the same functionality in the File Open dialog (video file list combobox) for the bug to be completely fixed.
Comment 5 Pedro Castro 2011-01-08 13:31:58 UTC 
The remaining part of this bug has been fixed by specifying a hopefully complete set of video file extensions for the video list in the Subtitle File Open dialog.

Patch for 607228

Unfortunately, common extension "rmvb" appears in the group "applications" and not "video".
Until the advent alias "video/vnd.rn-realmedia-vbr" in mime type database, you must apply a patch.
There is also no EVO extension, but I can not check if GStreamer play these files.
Comment 8 Pedro Castro 2011-06-16 23:02:45 UTC 
Pawel, thanks for noticing this.

I've commited support for the rmvb mime type. Can you test it?

Also, can you confirm which mime type is used for EVO files, and whether Totem plays them or not? (Totem is the default video player in Gnome, and it uses GStreamer).

Thank you.
Comment 9 Pedro Castro 2011-06-18 15:16:56 UTC 
As mentioned by email, support for "application/vnd.rn-realmedia" has been added as this seems to be the actual mime type detected for rmvb files.
