Description Nathan de Vries 2008-03-12 21:18:19 UTC 
Flash videos should have a default MIME type of "video/x-flv", since there's a lot of software that distinguishes media by looking for image/*, audio/* and video/* MIME types. At the moment, Flash video has a default MIME type of "application/x-flash-video".

Your application should be fixed to look at aliases as well then.

* freedesktop.org.xml.in: Make application/x-flash-video an alias,
and have the top-level mime-type be video/x-flv, so apps can use
video/ to filter it (Closes: #14982)
