Thread: set CVLC to default video player in 11.10
ok
bugging me!!
how set avi, mpg etc... open "cvlc" not "vlc"?
in 11.04 , previous versions not in 11.10!
i've had open videos using terminal, it's messy , slow! (rather double click video playing cvlc.)
way add cvlc application list??
you start making .desktop & take there. example -
code:gedit ~/.local/share/applications/cvlc.desktopwhether after log out/in starts showing in context menu various filetypes debatable, here though may out -code:[desktop entry] version=1.0 name=cvlc player comment= exec=cvlc %u icon=vlc terminal=true type=application categories=audiovideo;player; mimetype=video/dv;video/mpeg;video/x-mpeg;video/msvideo;video/quicktime;video/x-anim;video/x-avi;video/x-ms-asf;video/x-ms-wmv;video/x-msvideo;video/x-nsv;video/x-flc;video/x-fllvci;video/x-flv;video/vnd.rn-realvideo;video/mp4;video/mp4v-es;video/mp2t;application/ogg;application/x-ogg;video/x-ogm+ogg;audio/x-vorbis+ogg;application/x-matroska;audio/x-matroska;video/x-matroska;video/webm;audio/webm;audio/x-mp3;audio/x-mpeg;audio/mpeg;audio/x-wav;audio/x-mpegurl;audio/x-scpls;audio/x-m4a;audio/x-ms-asf;audio/x-ms-asx;audio/x-ms-wax;application/vnd.rn-realmedia;audio/x-real-audio;audio/x-pn-realaudio;application/x-flac;audio/x-flac;application/x-shockwave-flash;misc/ultravox;audio/vnd.rn-realaudio;audio/x-pn-aiff;audio/x-pn-au;audio/x-pn-wav;audio/x-pn-windows-acm;image/vnd.rn-realpix;audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin;application/x-extension-mp4;audio/mp4;audio/amr;audio/amr-wb;x-content/video-vcd;x-content/video-svcd;x-content/video-dvd;x-content/audio-cdda;x-content/audio-player;application/xspf+xml;x-scheme-handler/mms;x-scheme-handler/rtmp;x-scheme-handler/rtsp;
after creating drag .desktop onto unity launcher can act dnd mimetypes listed.
(shown in screen 1 - vlc icon cvlc.desktop, screen 2 show cvlc player showing thru r. click context on .wma dl'ed check wmalossless support in vlc
notes on .desktop -
"terminal=true" open terminal last duration of file auto close. if want background set false
%u in exec= line allow use dnd launcher & allow cvlc player show on right click > properties menu
"name=" line can whatever want
"icon=" can other vlc, if fullpath icon or if desired leave blank
(- if have issue getting player appear on r. click context menus if few log out/in don't resolve can 'force' adding cvlc.desktop various lines in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
