application/x-flash-video (.flv) should have a "video-x-generic" icon

[Jeff Fortin Tam]

the .flv files on the desktop do not have a video mimetype icon. They should :)

application/x-flash-video
video/x-flv

Proposed change (make video/x-flv default, and application/x-flash-video an alias)

application/x-flash-video
video/x-flv

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)

Thank you :)

I have this problem in Hardy updated from Gutsy too. I suppose more people don't realize the problem just because of the previewing mode which is default in nautilus. I have deleted any overrides of mimetypes in my home folder.

I found this in the Intrepid package and it seems to fix this bug:
  <mime-type type="video/x-flv">
    <comment>Flash video</comment>
...
    <comment xml:lang="vi">Ảnh động Flash</comment>
    <generic-icon name="video-x-generic"/>
    <magic priority="50">
      <match value="FLV" type="string" offset="0"/>
    </magic>
    <glob pattern="*.flv"/>
    <alias type="application/x-flash-video"/>
    <alias type="flv-application/octet-stream"/>
    <alias type="video/flv"/>
  </mime-type>

I did a quick test in a chroot and the video icon is there.
