[Bug 89543] .m2t files don't get recognized as mediafiles

[Hugues Fournier]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: shared-mime-info

MPEG Transport Stream (M2T) is the most used transport for DVB-T. So
most DVB-T raw recordings arem2t files.

M2T is handled by Ubuntu's default multimedia framework, Gstreamer.

However, its mime-type is not recognized by GNOME and double click leads to the following message:
"No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file."

share-mime-info has been patched upstream a few hours after the release of the 0.20 version in order to cope with these files, after a bug report on GNOME Bugzilla (#406196)

The related patch (obviously only the second part) :

     Importance: Undecided
