Title:
  RSS feed always uses video/mpeg, even for MP3s

Status in MythExport:
  New
Status in mythexport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I use mythexport to export radio programs (broadcast on DVB-T -
  Freeview in the UK). I use the MP3 config downloadable from
  http://www.baablogic.net/mythexport/ . The files themselves export
  fine into my mythexport folder.

  However, the RSS feeds that are generated mark each entry as MIME type
  video/mpeg, whereas for MP3s they should be type audio/mpeg. This
  appears to be hard-wired into the mythexportRSS.cgi file. For at least
  one podcatcher software (podkicker on Android), this can cause the
  podcatcher to attempt to play back the file with a video-player rather
  than an audio-player, causing undesired results.

  As an quick fix for myself (which only works because at the moment I
  am only exporting radio programs) I have changed mythexportRSS.cgi to
  mark all entries as audio/mpeg, and they now play fine in podkicker.
  Of course, a better fix would be to autodetect the correct MIME type
  depending on the individual file, and put that MIME type in the RSS
  feed, but I don't know how to do that.
