Package: gnome-mpv
Verison: 0.10-1

Hi.

I noticed gnome-mpv do not list the same set of MIME types as vlc in its
desktop file.  This causes the graphical file manager in the various
desktops to not suggest gnome-mpv to play various audio and video
formats when the user click on a media file.

Here is the list of MIME types present in the vlc desktop file but
missing in the gnome-mpv one.  I compare with the vlc desktop file
because it is the player with the most supported MIME types according to
<URL: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport >.  The
MIME types marked (x) are official MIME types registered with the IANA
MIME registry, and the ones marked (*) are MIME types returned by file
--mime-type.

Please consider adding these MIME types to the gnome-mpv.desktop file:

application/vnd.ms-asf (x) 
application/x-quicktimeplayer (x) 
application/xspf+xml (x) 
audio/3gpp (x)

For the record, gnome-mpv support the following MIME types that are not
listed in the vlc.desktop file.  Perhaps you want to check if these are
correct?

application/smil  
application/streamingmedia  
application/x-smil  
application/x-streamingmedia  
audio/rn-mpeg  
audio/x-pls  
audio/x-pn-windows-pcm
