the media player process needs to be restarted. also if you have flv files you should install gstreamer0.10-flv. if you have mkv files you should install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-extra and then run as root: tracker-register-mimetype -c Videos -a video/x-matroska

that should really be a postinst in that package as well as restarting media player. maybe i should get the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg postinst to restart media player.

if you have videos that dont play with the media player after this, let me know the type and codec info and i can either get more stuff packaged or let you know what is needed.
