Set VLC as default video player
To set VLC as the default video player for your linux desktop, open a terminal window or press Alt+F2 and enter: exo-open $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list Your default text editor should be opened and showing the mimeapps.list file. Look for "[Default Applications]" section (or create it if doesn't exist) and append the following list after the section title: video/msvideo=vlc.desktop video/x-msvideo=vlc.desktop video/x-dv=vlc.desktop video/vnd.mpegurl=vlc.desktop video/x-m4v=vlc.desktop video/quicktime=vlc.desktop video/x-sgi-movie=vlc.desktop video/mp4=vlc.desktop video/mpeg=vlc.desktop video/vnd.mpegurl=vlc.desktop video/quicktime=vlc.desktop video/x-flv=vlc.desktop video/x-ogm+ogg=vlc.desktop video/3gpp=vlc.desktop video/x-mpeg=vlc.desktop video/x-ms-wmv=vlc.desktop video/x-ms-asf=vlc.desktop video/x-matroska=vlc.desktop video/ogg=vlc.desktop Note If some video file type isn't associating with VLC, please tell me so...
