Description Jonathan 2011-12-02 22:57:02 UTC
Description of problem:
unable to set clementine as default player.
Clementine is available in the "open with" menu after installation, but it is not available in any menu where you can "set as default" and not in .mp3 > right-click > properties > open with > show other applications

Clementine is available in #user > system settings > system info > default applications > music, but changing this to clementine does not seem to have any effect. A click on a music file still opens rhythmbox

Hi Jonathan, this sounds like a bug in gnome-shell bug rather than a clementine bug. I cannot reproduce this since I don't use Gnome, and things work fine in KDE.
Reassigning to gnome-shell.

Comment 2 Jonathan 2011-12-03 15:42:06 UTC
You are probably right. This worked fine in gnome 3.0.

I figured either some standard changed in gnome 3.2 that clementine was not updated to, or there is a bug in gnome-shell.

Changing the default movie player also failed which suggest a bug in gnome-shell.

However, I would have expected clementine player to be visible in the relevant lists like the other software which it is not. This, to my limited understanding suggests something might be incorrect in 
/usr/share/applications/clementine.desktop for gnome 3.2 but I don't know the details about how this works.

Comment 3 John 2012-01-30 23:13:08 UTC
Hi, I got the same problem with Clementine but I could solve it and make Clementine my standard audio player.

edit /usr/share/applications/clementine.desktop

add %U to the command so it looks like 'Exec=clementine %U'

After you changed it log in and out and with 'right-click > properties > open with > show other applications ' you can make it the default player.

Comment 4 Jonathan 2012-01-31 08:02:36 UTC
That is how I solved it too, but given the interest from Clementine's side, I let that rest.

Comment 5 Orcan Ogetbil 2012-01-31 12:52:09 UTC
Did you folks reported this to gnome-shell or clementine developers?

Comment 6 Jonathan 2012-01-31 13:25:11 UTC
I believe this is the only place I reported it to. Given your fast response to the initial report, I thought you were representing the clementine dev's.

Comment 7 Orcan Ogetbil 2012-01-31 13:49:29 UTC
Hi Jonathan, no I am just packaging it. While there are exceptions, most packagers are not developing the software they are packaging. In the majority of the circumstances, it is best to talk to the developers directly. I, as a packager, forward the bugs to them if I can reproduce them, which is not the case here. If you can provide me a link to the upstream's response, I would gladly apply a patch to the RPM package.

Comment 8 Jonathan 2012-01-31 14:10:31 UTC
Got you. I'll forward this upstream.

Thank you taking the time to educate me.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 16:27:34 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 20:10:10 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
