Title:
  MPEG4 .ts files are recognized as text/vnd.trolltech.linguist and .dvr
  files as video/mpeg

Status in shared-mime-info package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I record DVBT2 TV shows as a set of two files, one is the .ts MPEG4
  transport stream and the other is .dvr binary file containing EPG
  program description. On my Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS desktop those are
  recognized as follows.

  In Nautilus, .ts files are always mapped to  text/vnd.trolltech.linguist
  file(1) command reports them as either FoxPro FPT or data files

  Nevertheless those .ts files are being played correctly when dropped
  into Totem window.

  Program description .dvr files are mapped to video/mpeg in Nautilus,
  while file(1) command reports them as MPEG sequence, v2, program
  multiplex. The only exception is info.dvr file not specific to any
  program and used by the TV set, which is mapped correctly to
  application/octet-stream in Nautilus and is reported as data by
  file(1) command.

  Attached are the samples of the problematic files recorded by the TV
  set.
