Re: How To : Associate MPlayer, Transmission, and other apps as default handlers
 

I just tried this and looks like cbrpager introduced new mime type 'application/x-cbr' (in file manager tap-and-hold and choose details to see that mime type)

That mime type doesn't show up in the defaults tab though so i will have to add that mime-type in the next release.

You could add it to defaults.list yourself but probably easier to just pickapplication from list and choose dbus-switchboard (or maybe even cbrpager)

Re: How To : Associate MPlayer, Transmission, and other apps as default handlers
 

dbus switchboard shows up, but not cbrpager.

and having to go via that dialog each time, bothersome...

Re: How To : Associate MPlayer, Transmission, and other apps as default handlers
 

Yea... ok well i updated dbus-switchboard to 1.2.6 which includes this fix... i will release to my repo tomorrow if no bugs are found.

Download link in first post.

Changelog :
- Added mime type for application/x-cbr (cbr comics)
- Added CbrReader as handler for cbr files
- Fixed transmission handler to use a more reliable param encoding
- Added maemo-mapper as handler
- Added xref for GPX files to use maemo-mapper (seems to want very latest version of maemo-mapper to work)

Re: How To : Associate MPlayer, Transmission, and other apps as default handlers
 

I installed 1.2.6 and changed the default for .asf When I tried to play a .asf file from the file manager, the file manager disappears and the system hangs. Nothing plays. It was set to use mplayer. I'm not sure how to tell what is going on.

Re: How To : Associate MPlayer, Transmission, and other apps as default handlers
 

I just tried and looks like you need to change the xref for asf to use 'mplayer' instead of 'mplayer- playlist' as the selected handler.

After changing that, and enabling the default 'video/x-ms-asf', it loaded fine in mplayer.

(although nokia media player also seems to support this type well enough for my sample)

Re: How To : Associate MPlayer, Transmission, and other apps as default handlers
 

That seems to work for me. I agree the nokia media player plays asf files fine. MPlayer is a problem, because there doesn't seem to be any way to interact with it (like to stop it playing). Perhaps I should use kmplayer?

Re: How To : Associate MPlayer, Transmission, and other apps as default handlers
 

mplayer uses dpad along with toggle fullscreen to allow full seeking and pausing to do other work.

ikmplayer does have button ui controls like media player, if thats important... but when i tried using it to play my sample asf i couldnt get it to work (even when opening file from its own menu) so mplayer assoc might be more reliable.

Using realparams with mplayer means no subtitles, but it works fine using realparams2

HELP: What is the proper setup to get the following site to open in a browser?

http://m.facebook.com/home.php

Already tried...
1. create a new Handler (Browser / browser %params%)
2. create a new Xref (.php / Browser)

Result
3. Dbus switchboard launches the browser Home page

Thanks.

would not a simple bookmark be quicker? or dont you use the bookmark menu in the gui?

crap, while trying to add a http url via the gui, i seem to have overridden the normal one, yet as i set to handler, the http entry do not show up in the gui...

also, it seems that the browser do not take command line parameters...
