musepack is missing

[Pavel Rojtberg]

the mimetype application/x-extension-mpc is not marked as a audio file i.e. not
assigned to totem.

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

this should be fixed in shared-mime-info. but i can confirm that it's missing there... I'll file a bug upstream about it

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

Hi,
currently musepack/mpc files are only recognized as 'application/octet-stream'.
the file extensions for these files are .mpc, .mpp and .mp+

I would suggest 'audio/x-musepack' as the correct mimetype as this is also used
by gstreamer.

Bye

ok, a fixed shared-mime-info was uploaded some seconds ago :)
if you still have any problems with musepack files file a bug and feel free to assign it to me ;)

musepack mime

Ptch for a preliminary musepack support.

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

Works fine here

[Pavel Rojtberg (rojtberg)]

tried it again now - Nautilus identifies the files as audio/x-musepack now, so they are unassigned again...

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

Unassigned, yes... but identified correctly. Currently no package other than banshee claims support for it.
Which one should in your oppinion? totem?

Sebastien, any ideas on this? Should we just add audio/* and video/* to totem's supported mimetypes in the .desktop file?

[Pavel Rojtberg (rojtberg)]

jup, I would vote for totem, since its also the default for all the other audio files. (hint: name it media- not just audio-player, but theres already a bug about that)

but generally any gstreamer based programm can handle muspack, if you have gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad installed...
