List all supported mime types in desktop file?

[petterreinholdtsen]

Hi. I notice from https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport, the qtav video player list a lot less supported video formats in its desktop file. Could it be that some supported formats are missing from the desktop file?

Depending on how ffmpeg is built. Should be the same as other apps using ffmpeg, for example mpv.

Well, as you can see from the table on wiki.debian.org, it is not listing the same as other apps using ffmpeg. For example, video/ogg is missing. :)

Can qtav play video/ogg? If so, perhaps its desktop file should let the desktop system know about it? What about audio/ogg?

ogg audio and video are supported. you can create a pull request.

Thanks for the offer, but I will pass for now. My goal with submiting this request was to make sure you were aware that the formats announced by qtav to Linux desktop systems seemed to be missing a lot of formats, in case you wanted to do something about it.

I do not use qtav myself, but vlc. VLC seem to list a complete and correct set of video formats in its .desktop file, so it will always show up as an alternative in dolphin and konqueror when I want to play media files and thus solve my needs.

For the record, I just updated the list available from https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport based on the latest packages in Debian unstable.
