When I open KDE GUI or Control Center I get a message that says "Could not find mime type application/octet stream". I can easily add the mime type file association in kde control center(and have done so) but don't know what to add for the "General" and "Embedded" category tabs. The message also pops up when I start control center. Could this also be related to the fact that I can't play video media files on the internet? I am using a Debian unstable distro with a 2.6.16-1-686 kernel. Have been trying to get Mozilla MPlayer to play media files on the internet for a month or more with no success and not any successful help from the Debian User list. Any help/suggestions most appreciated. Would like to know specifically:
What is appropriate entries for "General" and "Embedded" tabs for application/octet stream? Googling indicates there may be a security issue with this mime type, is there? And why did this error message just now pop up? Have recently modified KDE file associations trying to get media player to work by adding "application/x-mplayer2" and nsplugin viewer under the embedded tab and also "application/octet stream. Does "application/octet stream" have any bearing on mplayer playing internet videos specifically any news videos? Please copy my email-not subscribed.
