[Koos Vriezen]

Hi,

Are there any known issues with suse 10 wrt to mimetypes? According a
previous mail, the 0.9.1 version worked but the 0.9.1a not, and given
that kmplayer_part.desktop is installed in /opt/kde3/share/services
indicates the prefix was set correctly for configure.

Tia,
Koos

Hi Koos,

yes the file is there under /opt/kde3/share/services... but it does not 
work... I did a backup of the kmplayer_part.desktop from 9.1  before doing 
the 9.1a install and restore that file after the 9.1a install, no luck...  
same issue. I get the folowing message from konqueror : 

No plugin found for 'MS Media Format'.
Do you want to download one from www.microsoft.com?


When looking at the file association within the konqueror config, I do see all 
the file types correctly associated with Embedded MPlayer for KDE 
(kmplayer_part)

finally, I restored my backup from 9.1 of the folders services, sevicetypes, 
mimelnk. and still no luck... same problem.


any idea? would you like me to send you any output or files from my compiled 
9.1a kmplayer?




Martin
