mime types
Hi,

I am trying to launch an ogg movie from a pdf file which has been produced with pdflatex and
Code:
  \movie[externalviewer]
  {\centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]
     {grafiques_xerrades/un_manolo_amb_camera.pdf}}}
     {hlims_xerrades/XocCumuls.ogg}

The switch "externalviewer" makes kpdf launch the default application for ogg files, which was mplayer. I deinstalled mplayer and the following per default was vlc, I deinstalled it, then realplayer, and now it thinks it's to be open with xmms

I edited .mailcap and remplaced everything with xine:

Code:
audio/mp3;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-mp3;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/mpeg;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/mpg;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-mpeg;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-mpg;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/mpegurl;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-mpegurl;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/wav;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-wav;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-pn-wav;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-pn-windows-acm;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-pn-windows-pcm;/usr/bin/xine %s
application/vnd.rn-realmedia-secure;/usr/bin/xine %s
application/vnd.rn-realaudio-secure;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-realaudio-secure;/usr/bin/xine %s
video/vnd.rn-realvideo-secure;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/vnd.rn-realaudio;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-realaudio;/usr/bin/xine %s
application/vnd.rn-realmedia;/usr/bin/xine %s
application/vnd.rn-realmedia-vbr;/usr/bin/xine %s
image/vnd.rn-realpix;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-pn-realaudio;/usr/bin/xine %s
video/vnd.rn-realvideo;/usr/bin/xine %s
application/vnd.rn-realsystem-rmj;/usr/bin/xine %s
application/vnd.rn-realsystem-rmx;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/aac;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/m4a;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/mp2;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/mp1;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/rn-mpeg;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/scpls;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-scpls;/usr/bin/xine %s
application/streamingmedia;/usr/bin/xine %s
application/sdp;/usr/bin/xine %s
application/x-sdp;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/basic;/usr/bin/xine %s
audio/x-pn-au;/usr/bin/xine %s

and also tried to set xine to be the default player everywhere:

Code:
gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoplay_dvd_command "xine dvd://" &&
sudo rm -f /usr/share/applnk/Multimedia/xine.desktop &&
sudo ln -fs /usr/share/xine/desktop/xine.desktop /usr/share/applications/ &&
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/defaults.list /usr/share/applications/defaults.list_backup &&
sudo sed -e 's/totem.desktop/xine.desktop/g' /usr/share/applications/defaults.list_backup > /tmp/defaults.list &&
sudo mv /tmp/defaults.list /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

but kpdf is still launching xmms...

What can I do???

oh, gosh... evince is launching xine... but I'd prefer to use kpdf because some things are not well displayed in evince (latex-beamer theme beamerthemeDarmstadt)... the top bar colour is not uniforme
# 3  
Old 06-10-2006
in case you are wondering... I want xine because it's the only player woking nice with open-source movie format like ogg or mng... mplayer crashes

Any hint? I would like to use kpdf instead of evince...

Then what is your default application for opening OGG in KDE? KPDF is a KDE application, so it is natural that it takes the default as configured in the KDE framework. Goto KDE control center > KDE Components > File Associations and check the "application preference order" for OGG extension.

but I don't want to install the whole of kde... do I really have to install ~200MB of information to tell kpdf to use xine instead of xmms??? Smilie

Maybe try ~/.kde/share/config/profilerc.

But manually changing it is dangerous.
