Ubuntu :: VLC Playlists - Won't Remember File Association
Sep 21, 2010
I am trying to use VLC playlists.
Either xspf or m3u.
Creating them is fine but the only they will launch is if I "Open With" VLC.
Having "Remember this application for "XSPF playlist" files." checked seems to make the assignment b/c when I right-click to get properties VLC is chosen under the "Open With" tab.
The icon doesn't change from the music note image either (I thought I'd get some VLC icon)
I understand this is a bug and you must edit ".local/share/applications/mimeapps.list"
But don't know what to enter there for XSPF or M3U files.
Ubuntu 10.04.1
VLC 1.2.2

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (Netbook).I need to associate ram file extension to realplayer. First time I opened a ram file I choosed the default player, Reproductor de peliculas (I think Movie player in english).Now when I choose Open with Realplayer and remember the application for this extension it opens the archive but it does not remember for the next times. It seems to be a little bug. How can I do it manually? Where is the association config file for file extensions?

I have a Windows 7 partition, a fat32 partition that I use for moving data between Windows and Linux, and an Ubuntu partition. On the Ubuntu partition, I can right click on a text file and the top of the menu says "open with 'gedit'." On the fat32 partition, the same action says just "open," and the "open with" submenu doesn't include gedit.
If I right-click and choose properties on the same file, the "open with" tab shows gedit as the default file association. So that's weird... anyone else seen anything like this?

is a file association to a program that will only run in it's own directory. (Arobas' Guitar Pro, if you're curious). The link created by the installer leads to a shell script, which cd's to /opt/GuitarPro6, then executes the program there. Attempting to call the program from outside that directory fails, as the program cannot find it's libraries. It starts normally otherwise.
Passing a file name to the program via the command line works fine, IF you start with the working directory as above. The question is, what can I do to pass the filename to the command line in the shell script, so that double-clicking in Nautilus brings up the program with the file? (Currently, just associating with the shell script gives me the program, with no loaded file).
Second issue is files with an .hjt extension. They're essentially text files, following a specific format used by Treepad. Nautilus recognizes them as text files. When I change their association to Treepad, regular .txt files follow this change, and when I change the .txt's back to Leafpad, the .hjt's follow. How can I separate the .hjt's from the .txt's?

I somehow messed up the file association of the panels.... Alle Folders in the "places" are linked to vlc media player.... except the "Computer" icon If I drag a folder on the desktop it opens with nautilus as it should I remember that i wrote somewhere manually "vlc..." to associate a videodvd, that worked too well I deinstalled vlc, but i only get an errormessage then " cant execute child process" so its still linked to vlc.....

With a desktop environment, there are file associations that goes with it. I'm a minimalistic user, who doesn't use any of such, but still want some kind of file associations to ease my burden. So I'm searching for a program that does something like the following. open file.pdf this will look at the extension, and translate to okular file.pdf. Of course one can always write a bash script to do this. I wonder if there is something existing, so I don't reinvent the wheel.

I'd like to know how to change the Unity Launch icons file association. For example; when i click the 'Files and Folders' icon and the side menu pops up with recent, favorites, etc. I click any of them and they associate those files or folders with Vuze. It also associates the trash can at the bottom of the menu, and any external hdd that i attach; but this only occurs when i open them through the Unity Launch Bar. I can go to the Home icon and open a folder and they open, or open the hdd off the desktop and its fine. It seems to only happen when i try to open them through Unity.

Since I installed my new debian squeeze system with gnome 2.30.2 I got problems with totem and totem-xine application.
Problem 1: The file asociation for .avi does always open totem! I changed the .avi file asociation unter -> preferences -> "preferred applications" for example to vlc... but no chance it always open the totem player. I looked also in the gnome configuration tool (gconf) and there is the file asociaton set on vlc, but he still opens totem.
Problem 2: All .avi files with video content I cannot see the video and I hear only the audio stream. If I open the video I got a popup with the message that the codec is not installed, then I click on search codecs and totem search for it and does not found anything. I have the codec installed because I see it in avidemux...
- If I install only totem I install also all gstreamer packages ...
- If I install totem-xine I install all xine plugins packackages etc ...
- If I use vlc or mplayer all works fine ...
- If I start totem over a console shell and I open the video, I get no error message in the shell.

I installed a trial copy of Anquet Map V06 under Wine then decided to remove it. Afterwards I could find many remnants associated with the Anquet program which I've deleted. Except what remains is an association between my .gpx files with Anquet and that includes and any new gpx file I download. My interpretation is that during the install process an association has been created with the gpx file type and the Anquet map program. This is what I want to stop. If I download a .gpx file and look at it's properties I see- Type: GPX File -Anquet Mapsv06 (application/x-wine-extension-gpx) I found this file and it's contents-
/.local/share/mime/application/x-wine-extension-gpx.xml
<mime-type type="application/x-wine-extension-gpx">
−
<!--
[code]....
Running "sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" and rebooting didn't remove the association. How can I stop the Anquet name making as association with my gpx files?

Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0 When I click on some audio stream links in my web browser (Mozilla Firefox), the stream comes in a URL ending in .pls, usually listen.pls. As I want mplayer to play it and not the default player, I intend to make the first the default one. In Firefox (2.0.0.4) I can do Edit>Preferences>Content>File Types>Manage and change the actions associated with each file type. However, if the type is, say, PDF, I can can only change the action if a PDF file has anytime been downloaded. So, the same goes for a PLS file.
You have an example of the kind of link I talk about here: [URL] In the case of a radio broadcast audio stream, I am not downloading it, I think. At least, the Download window does not open. The Download window not having open itsef, the PLS type does not appear in the window Edit>...>File Types>Manage leads to. And so, I cannot change the action. The action would be 'Open them with this application': mplayer.

I'm using Banshee that comes installed on 11.04. Syncing seems to work only one of two ways: 1. sync entire library (not possible for me) or 2. sync a single banshee playlist. How do I sync say three playlists to my iphone?I've tried syncing another playlist and it wants to wipe the rest of the music from my phone.

I am going through the motions of migrating from Rhythmbox to Banshee so that I can field questions about the process as Banshee takes over for Rhythmbox in Ubuntu. I have solved a silly issue about importing playlists (they must be imported from /home/username/ or you must alter the paths in each entry). But there is another issue which I am at a loss to explain.
My playlists are like mixed tapes. They are in a specific order. When I import a playlist into Banshee that order is not preserved. I have checked the files and they are definitely ordered and numbered in the playlists just as they are in Rhythmbox, but Banshee refuses to import them with the order respected regardless of the smallness of the list.
What's going on and how can I correct this?
I'd rather not have to reconstruct all of these playlists.

I have recently got a new car, which as a USB port to connect either an iPOD or Storage Device. For some reason I decided to get a portable 500GB HDD to put my music on. When you plug in an iPOD you get the nice options to search by genre, artist, etc. You don't get this option with a storage device, just the option to go through the folders. The car stereo will read playlists. I'm wondering whether there's an easy way to create playlists so I get these options:
Artists > Artists A-D
Artists > Artists E-G
etc
Genre > Genre A-D
etc
I know rhythmbox can do this manually (as can iTunes) but surely there's an easier way. I'm planning to keep adding more music so an automated process would be nice to keep the playlists refreshed. Where the playlists are saved onto my HDD rather than having to save them one by one.

I used to be able to sync my music with HTC Hero and Banshee, but when I upgraded to 2.1 quite a while back banshee seems to crash. I now have a Nexus One (Android 2.2) and that does the same. (no longer have the Hero). They both seem to crash Banshee when it gets to syncing the playlists (every time), music syncs fine. Does anyone else on 2.1 or 2.2 have this problem or is it just me? (been doing searches every now and then since the Hero update but cant find anything).

Banshee is, at seemingly random intervals, emptying any playlist I have imported (as .pls generated by Rhythmbox). The playlists I build in Banshee directly are not suffering this emptying problem. (There is one imported playlist, of some 30+, which has not yet emptied but I see nothing special about it.)

I wanted to "reset" the collection on my iPod and ended up accidentally deleting, through Amarok, all the playlists, including the default ones like "Most Played" and "Highest Rated". Since these are dynamic playlists with a special meaning for iPod, I don't think creating new, normal playlists with the same name will bring their special behavior back.
How do I restore them with the same dynamic functionality? Is there a way to do that on Amarok? Rhythmbox? GTKPod? Command line?
P.S.: not entirely sure what the policy about iPod questions are, but this one in particular seems to me to be very computer-related because, although it's about interfacing with a device, everything has to be done on my computer, using standard PC libraries/programs, etc.

I was having an issue with trying to create a zip file with ubuntu (10.10) after succeeding with that after missing the completely obvious for like an hour, I now have the following issue:If I select any folder from the "places" shortcut on the top panel, i.e. "home" or "downloads", instead of opening in what I believe to be nautilus, it opens in archive manager with the obvious error message "archive type not supported". How can I restore the function of "places" back to normal please?

I'm looking for a music player that has the functionality of Windows Media Player. That is, a player that would search for music all over the file system (like Picasa does for images), and would work conveniently with folder structure - so I would drag an entire folder into the window and the player would create a playlist of it. I have Ubuntu, if it matters.
