I reported this bug and it was fixed in March 2010. If you see new problems then please feel free to open a new bug report! Describe the exact situation: does it fail with local ts-files? or only on network shares (samba)? Are the files encrypted or playable with your videoplayer? Do you use Nautilus or another file browser? Add version numbers of everything, ect... And leave a comment here with a link to your new bug report to help affected people follow you.
To solve it yourself try my final patch from comment #20. I just checked my Linux Mint 17.1 which is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: its file browser Nemo (= Nautilus clone) does recognize my ts-files correctly as "MPEG-2 transport stream", locally and remote through NFS. I have no samba network shares. My ts-files were recorded by my settop- box and are not encrypted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502642 Title: .ts files always get recognized as application/x-linguist and never as video/mp2t (mpeg transport stream) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/shared-mime-info/+bug/502642/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
