I hate to say it, but as part of a small paid open source development
team with a very active community bug tracker for our own product, which
is not supposed to prevent us from working on the features we need to
implement (for the paying customers who make the open product possible)
I can very well understand why this is still an issue after four, five
or whatever years.

Title:
  .ts files always get recognized as application/x-linguist and never as
  video/mp2t (mpeg transport stream)

Status in shared MIME database:
  Fix Released
Status in shared-mime-info package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: shared-mime-info

  I checked Hardy, Jaunty and Karmic: *.ts files are always mapped to
  application/x-linguist by
  /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml. But there are several
  Linux-based settop boxes that record videos in *.ts-files. So if
  application/x-linguist is obsolete then it should simply be replaced
  by video/mpeg. Otherwise the mime framework has to distinguish such
  files by inspecting their headers. If someone knows more about
  x-linguist files, please add a comment!

  The problem has already been reported upstream two month ago (see
  freedesktop.org above). But for 10.04 LTS we should fix it by a patch,
  if it is not fixed upstream by then.

  As a workaround copy the attached file to ~/.local/share/mime/packages/mpeg-ts.xml and update your mime-database with:
  $ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime

  To trigger the regeneration of failed thumbnails just delete them:
  $ rm ~/.thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory/*.png
