[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#842807: parole: Add missing MIME types to desktop file?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: parole
Verison: 0.8.1-1

Hi.

I noticed parole 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 parole 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 parole 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 parole.desktop file:

application/vnd.ms-asf (x) 
audio/amr (x) 
audio/amr-wb (x) 
application/x-shockwave-flash (x*) 
video/3gpp2 (*) 
application/mpeg4-iod  
application/mpeg4-muxcodetable  
application/vnd.rn-realmedia-vbr  
audio/3gpp2  
audio/aac  
audio/dv  
audio/eac3  
audio/m4a  
audio/mp1  
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-mp1  
audio/x-mp2  
audio/x-mpg  
audio/x-shorten  
video/mpeg-system  
video/x-mpeg-system  
video/x-ms-asf-plugin  
video/x-theora  
x-content/audio-cdda  
x-content/audio-player  
x-scheme-handler/icy  
x-scheme-handler/icyx  
x-scheme-handler/rtmp  
x-scheme-handler/rtp  
x-scheme-handler/rtsp  

For the record, parole 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+xml (x) 
audio/prs.sid (x) 
video/vnd.vivo (x) 
application/smil  
application/x-netshow-channel  
application/x-shorten  
application/x-smil  
audio/x-sbc  
audio/x-stm  
image/x-pict  
video/vivo  
video/x-flic  
video/x-totem-stream
