When given a directory, queue all the video files in it.

[quequotion]

Steps to reproduce:
Right click on a folder in Pantheon-files
Select "Open in" -> "Other Application"
Select "Audience"

Expected result:
Audience queues all the video files in the directory.

Actual result:
Nothing plays, "URI not set" (bug 1401082)

There was a time when this worked* and I think it's a reasonable feature to expect.

*Not sure which version it was, but I do remember that Audience wasn't checking filetypes and just queued every file in the directory, causing gstreamer to crash if there were non-multimedia files.

I tried modifing the .desktop file, to use %F (multiple files) instead of %U (URL); this was not effective.

Audience is capable of opening multiple files at once from the command line.

yes, it happen because audience try to play non video file, playing folder which only has video will run fine.
my linked branch will try to check for file mimetype before file being added to playlist, hope that will fix this bug

Does this address that audience does not queue files in a directory when told to do so?

Checking the mimetype was not why I filed this bug.

[quequotion (quequotion)]

I mean, checking the mimetypes will be necessary of course, but the inital problem was that audience would be trying to play the directory itself rather than the files in it.

Yes, audience should queue all the files inside directory since long ago. But sometime it fail when we have non video inside, so checking file type is the only thing needed. If there is some circumstance it break please specify here.
