[mythtv-users] automatically launching VideoLan or Windows Media Player with .NUV files?

[Andrew Cheyne]

Brad,

  The DSMyth filters work fine for viewing the .nuc files. The problem 
is that I cant just click on them through the Myth web interface and 
have either Windows Media Player or LanVideo play the contents. It's not 
really a MythTV issue.

   It used to be that you could configure applications to handle the 
mime types for a browser, but I cant seem to find where you set that 
anywhere. QuickTime seems to want to try and play the content from the 
.NUV file everytime.

Thanks,
Andrew
