Hi All,
I am struggling to correctly define a search for a tool to help me list the software in my two machines, desktop and notebook, both running SUSE 12.3. As a consequence Google has been of no help.
My two computers have different video handling set ups. desktop needs VLC to handle flash and avi files - nothing else works, whereas my notebook needs GnomeMPlayer only for the same tasks (VLC is useless) both machines are 64bit.
It sounds like a mime-types issue. Try rummaging around with gst-typefind, gvfs-mime, xdg-mime and friends. Also look at what is in the Desktop files for vlc and mplayer.
