Synopsis
shared-mime-info bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated shared-mime-info package that corrects the default file
associations for certain video formats is now available.
Description
This is the freedesktop.org shared MIME info database.
Many programs and desktops use the MIME system to represent the types of
files. Frequently, it is necessary to work out the correct MIME type for a
file. This is generally done by examining the file's name or contents, and
looking up the correct MIME type in a database.
This updated package fixes the following bug:
- The Totem media player was registered as the default handler for MIME
types which it was not able to play in its default configuration. The GConf
configuration system is now aware of which MIME types Totem is able to
handle, and which ones are better handled by, for example, RealPlayer.
Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
