Bug Description

Binary package hint: xine-ui

Whereas .mov .mpeg etc. mention "Xine Movie Player" when the right mouse button is pressed over them, .wmv do not (even though they do play in xine-ui).

I've noticed that there are a couple more that can be played but aren't associated in /usr/share/applications/xine.desktop .

Basically the following need to be added to the .desktop file:
video/x-ms-wmv
audio/x-vorbis+ogg (oddly enough this will match theora videos)
video/mp4

(I think if this persists unchanged into the next release after it is finished I'm just going to close this bug as it doesn't seem to be doing much good)
