I'm using Lubuntu 14.04 and I have VLC & mplayer and audious.
I want to keep VLC but use mplayer & audious as default players.
While I change default player for video & audio player from lxsession-default-apps and also change default application in Open With section of file properties but it still opens all video & audio files with VLC

How Can I Disassociate file types from VLC and set them to another application in LXDE/OpenBox/PCManFM ?

  • @IzznogooooD: I'm on Lubuntu which means I use LXDE/OpenBox/PCManFM ; There is no Nautilus here! – Ariyan Mar 28 '16 at 09:24
  • Forget about Nautilus, did you try the solution? – Izzno Mar 28 '16 at 09:26
  • @IzznogooooD: Yes; there is no mimeopen here neither; I want to find the way VLC is locked itself as verrrry (!!) default application in my current config; – Ariyan Mar 28 '16 at 09:29
  • The program 'mimeopen' is not installed by default in Lubuntu 14.04. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install libfile-mimeinfo-perl. – DK Bose Mar 28 '16 at 11:09
  • @DKBose: yes and I did so; and it has no effect; – Ariyan Mar 28 '16 at 13:43

    Local changes should be able to be manipulated in the file $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list. Open it with your favourite text editor and have a look. Back up before altering :) – andrew.46 Mar 29 '16 at 08:41
