Description:

Nautilus does not thumbnail .flv files after the upgrade of shared-mime-info from 0.23 to 0.40 and the subsequent downgrade from 0.40 to 0.30. The same bug has been reported for shared-mime-info 0.30 on debian (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486468)

What I have found is that .flv files have the mime type video/x-flv when shared-mime-info 0.30 or 0.40 is installed but there is no equivalent gnome thumbnailer (gconf-editor lists application/x-flash-video and video/flv under desktop/gnome/thumbnailers). Fixed the problem here by installing a new thumbnailer schema for video/x-flv (as attached).

Additional info:
* shared-mime-info 0.30.1
* nautilus 2.22.3-1


Steps to reproduce: Clear out ~/.thumbnails, navigate to a directory containing .flv files with nautilus and then watch what happens.
This task depends upon

Created http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541144. Let's see if I've assigned it in the right place.

The resolution from gnome is that this is a totem problem and that it is already fixed in totem 2.23.4.

* data/mime-type-list.txt: Add video/x-flv as a support mime-type

So I/we just need to wait.
