Description of problem: When using a Gnome-aware web browser (Mozilla, galeon) to view .ram and .rm files, realplay (RealPlayer), if installed, is given as an option to open the files. However, when trying to open a SMIL files (for example, many of the audio files on npr.org), only the Cancel and Save options are given. Since RealPlayer can handle these files just fine, the MIME data that Gnome-aware web browsers use should be updated to make this possible Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-mime-data-2.4.1-4 I use the following fix, which should be easily adapted into a patch. (Mostly all that's missing is translations which can be copied from other entries in the noted files). Add the following to /usr/share/mime-info/gnome-vfs.keys: ### application/smil description=SMIL Script default_action_type=application short_list_application_ids_for_novice_user_level=realplayer short_list_application_ids_for_intermediate_user_level=realplayer short_list_application_ids_for_advanced_user_level=realplayer category=Documents default_application_id=realplayer ### Add "application/smil" to the end of the last line (mime_types=)of the "realplayer" entry in /usr/share/application-registry/gnome-vfs.applications There is an existing application/x-smil entry; perhaps files of this type should also have the option of using RealPlayer.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Hi, This bug is being closed because it has been in the NEEDINFO state for a long time now. Feel free to reopen the bug report if the problem still happens for you and you can provide any information that was requested.
This is fixed as of HelixPlayer-1.0.5-0.fc3.2 (Fedora Core 3). HelixPlayer is now the layer that handles SMIL files, as noted in /usr/share/mime-info/hxplay.keys, which belongs to this RPM. RealPlayer is install separately but is still used for Real Audio and Video content.
