I use mplayer to view my videos. However, in 12.04, after installing mplayer, I do not see open with option in preference dialog. Could you please tell me how to add mplayer to the list.



I am pasting screenshot of my menus. Please let me know If I am missing any thing.
Open with Options - Pop up Menu
Open with Options - Default Application Menu



Note: In second image, video option contains single Movie player entry.

I had a similar problem with gnome. I used mimeopen to solve it, but the command was a little different :



mimeopen -d myfile.mp4


With this I could associate mp4 files with the mplayer command again.



Without "-d" it would use totem without asking.
