I have a fix for DarkGUNMAN: it turns out GnomeVFS chokes on non-files, so it can't determine the mimetype for things like rtsp: streams.

If anyone knows of a library that can handle non-file parameters, I'm interested!

I'll see if I can also figure out rebhana's problem before pushing out a new version.

If I read this properly, I don't think you have much of a choice but to use GnomeVFS for local files. Certainly, I've never seen MIME-type definitions installed elsewhere on Maemo. For remote files, though, no idea, sorry.

OK, rebhana, it isn't anything broken with dbus-switchboard. You just have to add lines to the two mimetype files.

First, /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

application/postscript=hildon-dbus-switchboard.desktop

Next, /usr/share/applications/uri-action-defaults.list

application-postscript=hildon-dbus-switchboard.desktop

Note that it is application-postscript not application/postscript in the uri-action-defaults.list file. And no, don't ask me why.

I will add this type to my postinst script, might as well make it available for everyone.

New version (1.2.16) in Extras-devel!

This fixes rtsp: streaming (and other protocols) by not checking the mimetype for parameters that have "://" in them (doesn't include "file://"). I've also added .sdp cross-referenced with VLC, and I've added application/postscript to the necessary files for rebhana.

Interesting! Apparently this new version isn't overwriting the link to /etc/gnome/defaults.list anymore, and now the file is getting messed up.

I'm investigating...

Also the last two versions didn't overwrite the link for me. Looking at defaults.list, I notice that (with version 1.2.15) I have repetitive entries: 2 blocks headed each by "# DBus-Switchboard default associations" , then

Code:

# Catch-all on N900
unknown/unknown=hildon-dbus-switchboard.desktop

followed by another block headed by "# DBus-Switchboard default associations".

And on top of that, I didn't do the application/postscript associations correctly! I did "dbus-switchboard.desktop" instead of "hildon-dbus-switchboard.desktop"...

New version (1.2.17) repairs /etc/gnome/defaults.list if required and then breaks the link to /usr/share/applications/default.list so that changes to the latter file will have no impact on the /etc/gnome file (since it isn't really used by hildon apps). Upon removal of dbus-switchboard, the changed file in .../applications is removed and the link to /etc/gnome is re-established.

I also fixed my embarrassing mistake with the application/postscript type. dbus-switchboard is properly invoked for this type now.

Im getting this error when trying to open a rtsp stream both rstp and .sdp are associated to Vlc as default.

Any ideas?
