Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2009-01-21 03:58:27 UTC

Most of those are already in there, please file a separate bug with one mime-type addition per bug, and explain why each mime-type needs to be added.

Comment 2 David Faure 2009-01-21 09:20:11 UTC

Those are mostly aliases, which are not already there. But yes I expect Koos to comment on those, he said he will do that later today. Ideally he would provide a patch for freedesktop.org.xml.in too, otherwise I'll do that :-)

I don't think it makes sense to create one bug report per missing _alias_?? The reason is mostly "webservers send out those aliases"...

Comment 4 Koos Vriezen 2009-01-21 11:44:14 UTC

These are listed as the supported mimetypes from mplayer and are just aliases. I've made a diff against 0.51.

Comment 5 David Faure 2009-01-21 15:45:21 UTC

Reopening - the patch shows all the missing aliases that are commonly used by webservers.

Please provide a patch against the .in file, not the generated file with translations.

Latest patch looks good to me. Bastien, OK if I commit it?

Comment 9 Bastien Nocera 2009-02-06 10:58:42 UTC

The aliases look fine, the video/x-ms-wmp mime addition doesn't though.

It's not a file type, it's a mime-type used to embed plugins into a page, so it won't get added (see also application/x-vlc-plugin, or audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin).

* freedesktop.org.xml.in: Patch from Koos Vriezen
<koos.vriezen@gmail.com> to add more aliases for media types,
as used by kmplayer (Closes: #19671)

Sorry to ping an old bug but the audio/mp2 mime type does not look right to me.

Problem is we have a conflict with mp3 files:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3003

The rfc uses audio/mpeg for .mp1, .mp2 and .mp3 audio files. If I'm reading rfc 3555 correctly, the correct identification would be audio/MPA; layer=x where x is 1, 2 or 3. It's a little silly for our purposes.

My solution would be a generic audio/mpeg mime type, and specific audio/x-mpeg1, audio/x-mpeg2 and audio/x-mpeg3 child mime types (or similar).
