[vlc-devel] Using vlc as default player for gnome desktop

[Torsten Spindler]

As there is no preferred application for multimedia player in the gnome
preferences, one either has to associate the preferred player manually
or use the following script. It works fine for me on Ubuntu Edgy and I
hope it works on other gnome systems as well. Probably it can be
included in the contrib directory.

Merry christmas,
Torsten
