Hello!

1) I think there's missing support for .ogm files (OGG based videos with DIVx
streams inside). Any pln to support them?

2) There was a discussion (last month I think) on the theora mailing list about
separate extensions and mime-types for Ogg based audio and video files. The
conclusion was:

 a) officially only .ogg and application/ogg was supported, since this was
accepted by IETF, for BOTH audio and video.

 b) most people do want to have sepparate audio and video extensions/mime-types,
because both are opened by different players. Most people agreed on .ogv and
application/x-ogg-video (although some suggested .oggv as well). Some proposed
.oga resp. application/x-ogg-audio leaving .ogg for generally describing Ogg
streams.
So, my question is: since it seems, that (at least some) people will start using
.ogv for Theora files, would it make sense for the freedesktop.org mime-database
to support this?

Thanks!

well well well, the eternal debate between container and content

ogg can contain tags, audio stream (including vorbis), video stream (including
thora), subs
riff is a container too (avi/wav/mid), like matroska (mkv)
mpeg streams were pure before id3 shit came in and did a terrible mess
ogm is a bad hack from the windows world

see bug #397 about the same issue for asf (container) and wma/wmv (classic

proof of concept patch

This patch adds various glob patterns to try to fix what is explained in this
bug. However, there's still a problem with mime sniffing, ogm files will be
sniffed as application/ogg files :-/

Hi!

At least the way ogg files are handled right now in xdg is wrong!
The file from shared-mime-info-0.15 /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml
contains:

  <mime-type type="application/ogg">
    <comment>Ogg Vorbis audio</comment>
   [...]

And this is wrong! ogg is not Ogg Vorbis audio only e.g. ogg media streams
containing video get the same.

Please correct at least this error until a better solution is found.

thanks, Fabian

issue, in particular magic patterns we could use (though I guess this is an ugly

to my idea was to use the mime magic paterns to match all known codecs 
and fallback to application/ogg if not known.
the problem with the attached version is that it matches "Ogg Multimedia"
in the list view until one selects the file. than it will do an exact match.
is this a bug in nautilus not using the priortiy?

Committed patch

Patch that was committed to shared-mime-info, and fixes the issue together with
recent xdgmime updates.

Distributors: Don't blindly distribute it. Ensure that you also ship the recent
update-mime-database.c changes and Matthias Clasen's work on xdgmime if you
want to backport this one. It won't break, but doesn't improve the situation.
