Need to change default movie players in Kubuntu 12.04

Question

I've recently installed Kubuntu 12.04 on my computer, and the Dragon movie player doesn't work very well for me. So I installed the Totem movie player (which I've used in both Ubuntu and Lubuntu with no issues) but I need to get the computer to default to opening with the Totem player. I tried changing it through "Settings" and then "Device Actions", but apparently I need to know the proper command to put in the setting. The command listed under the Dragon player is: "dragon --play-dvd", so what do I need to enter to make it open with the Totem player? And, is that all that needs to be done? Thanks!

Answer 1

Right click any file that you want its type to open with Totem and select Properties Next to the "Type: " row, you will see the settings icon that says Edit file type when you hover your mouse on it. Click it and you will see list of applications in the bottom half, move Totem or add it if its not shown.

OK, close, you are done for all file types.

Answer 2

Select any of the video file with any extension you want to make default then right click and select properties->open with-> show other applications and then select totem player

Answer 3

Open systemsettings. Click on File Associations. Find the file format you are interested in and move totem to the top.

Answer 4

You can right click on a file, go to the last entry (Properties) and select in the new window the 'Open with' tab.

There you see the standard-application, the recommended app and other apps for opening this file.

In the list of other applications, you can select which application to use for opening the movie. (Totem)

Now the file should be opened by Totem. I think it works try All the best
