Can you please attach the output of "gvfs-mount -li" while the player is connected and mounted?

debian/patches/06_music-player-mimetype.patch is still against the gdu backend, but we need to rewrite it against the udisks2 backend now. This is a regression (we break this for every release...)

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Sent patch upstream.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Fix uploaded to quantal unapproved queue.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gvfs - 1.14.0-0ubuntu3

---------------
gvfs (1.14.0-0ubuntu3) quantal; urgency=low

  * 06_music-player-mimetype.patch: Drop old kludge against the now unused
    gdu backend, and replace with a proper and upstreamable patch against the
    udisks2 backend. This brings back media player detection in nautilus and
    other gvfs clients. (LP: #1051951)
