Bug 30225

I tried under an up to date 64 bit Plasma. This problem is not reproducible, neither with the normal nor the tainted mpv package.

Ever confirmed: 1 => 0
Status: NEW => UNCONFIRMED

I cannot confirm either. I have mpv installed ...
$ rpm -qa --last|grep mpv
mpv-0.32.0-6.1.mga8.x86_64                    2021-07-13T19:05:42 EDT
lib64mpv1-0.32.0-6.1.mga8.x86_64              2021-07-13T19:05:42 EDT

My file associations for zip shows "Files, Ark, and Engrampa".
For application/ogg, it does show mpv Media Player, among the others I have
installed.

I suggest creating a new user and see if this is a system wide problem on that
system, or just a problem with the configuration for that user.

I logged in as another user and MPV was not listed on unsupported apps. I have no idea how this happened, but it seems like this is a user-wide issue.

Is there any file that keeps persistent associations? Since when I uninstall MPV and install it again the incorrect associations are still there.

Cheers

Installing or uninstalling packages never alter files in /home, which may
not even be mounted when installing or uninstalling packages.

The user altered file associations appear to be stored in
~/.config/mimeapps.list

Closing the bug as invalid since it isn't caused by a problem in the Mageia
packages.

Status: UNCONFIRMED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

I check all the files listed here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_MIME_Applications#mimeapps.list and I could find mpv.desktop listed only on mimes where it is supposed to be. 

Sorry for reporting this as a bug since this is now clearly only on my end. However, I have no idea how to fix this since looking up "application registered for all mime types" does not yield any good results.

Cheers

Install the command tree (if it isn't already installed).
Check the files shown by
$ tree -ifa|grep mime
for the affected user

I ran systemsettings5 under strace and used it to alter the order for zip
file associations. Here's the result ...
$ grep mime strace.txt|grep -v -e 'access(' -e 'statx(' -e 'stat(' -e RDONLY -e '/proc'
173148 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/dave/.config/mimeapps.list.lock", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 26
173148 rename("/home/dave/.config/mimeapps.list.utaJmR", "/home/dave/.config/mimeapps.list") = 0
173148 chmod("/home/dave/.config/mimeapps.list", 0664) = 0
173148 unlink("/home/dave/.config/mimeapps.list.lock") = 0

Note that alterations made to the file while that user is logged in and
running kde, made using anything other then systemsettings5 will be overwritten
by kde.

I'd log out as that user, log in as another user, use "su -" to become root,
then delete (or rename) the mimeapps.list for the affected user. That should
remove all user level overrides to the file associations.

Weird thing is, that in '~/.config.mimeapps.list' I have for example 'application/zip=org.kde.ark.desktop;'. There is no MPV there but when I open 'systemsettings5' and find the 'application/zip' in the file association menu I have 'mpv Media Player' in the Application Preference Order there...

When I ran the same strace on systemsettings5 it uses the same file. It's interesting that MPV is associated with every extension for me. And that to remove the association I have to delete them in the systemsettings5 one by one. Then it adds these lines to the '~/.config/mimeapps.list':

[Removed Associations]
application/vnd.leocad=mpv.desktop;
application/x-java=mpv.desktop;

I will try to log out and delete the file as root as you suggested.

I was finally able to fix the issue. Unfortunately deleting the file did not help anything but I fixed the problem by running 'sudo update-desktop-database'.

I guess there was some weird glitch in the MIME cache that caused this. Thanks for the help, Dave!

Cheers
