Description Ryan Gammon 2005-01-20 12:56:15 UTC
Attached are some corrections to the freedesktop.org definitions of RealNetworks
mime types.

These use the IANA-compatible variants of our mime types (audio/vnd.rn-realaudio
vs audio/x-pn-realaudio)

ra = realaudio (deprecated in favor of rm's)
rv = realvideo (deprecated in favor of rm's)
rmm, ram = metafiles, text files containing a list of urls to play back
rax, rmx, rvx = secure realaudio/media/video
rmj, rms = old-style secure/unsecure realmedia (from the RealJukebox days I believe)
rmvb = variable bitrate realmedia
rp = RealPix
rt = RealText

For reference link to a thread that contains answers to question I was about to
ask in this bug ;)

I disagree with the removal of the "invalid" mime types, I'd rather add <alias>
tags defining those mime types to the more correct ones if that's possible.

I've committed a patch which adds the MIME types you requested, while still
keeping the aliases, as requested by Christophe:
http://cvs.freedesktop.org/mime/shared-mime-info/freedesktop.org.xml.in?r1=1.88&r2=1.89

Feel free to reopen this bug report if I overlooked anything.

This is broken. The magic for some of the mime-types has completely disappeared.

explains why. The problem is obviously that real media is a container format and
realaudio/realvideo are kind of sub-classes. We have the same issues with Ogg
and WMA/WMV. Both have the same extension, only one of them is registered with
this extension, and only one is registered with the contents MIME type.

That looks good. Hopefully, Totem's playlist parser shouldn't have too much
trouble parsing those files.
