/etc/mime.types doesn't have Matroska MIME types.

mailcap-2.1.41-1.fc19.noarch

Every time

Quoting from http://matroska.org/technical/specs/notes.html#MIME

There is no IETF endorsed MIME type for Matroska files. But you can use the ones we have defined on our web server :

    .mka : Matroska audio audio/x-matroska
    .mkv : Matroska video video/x-matroska
    .mk3d : Matroska 3D video video/x-matroska-3d

Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2013-09-08 07:28:26 UTC
Adding private types like these is usually frowned upon, but done upstream anyway.
