What player can I use to repeat a specific part of an audio file? e.g. I need an audio file to repeat from second 10 to 22, in a loop. This can be done via mplayer, but mplayer is not visual and is hard to work with from command line:
mplayer audio.mp3 -ss 10 -endpos 12 -loop 100
I usually play songs on mplayer through terminal. However, I don't know to put a song on repeat - as I want to listen to a particular song again and again.
How to put a single song/set of songs on repeat?
I use mplayer to view my videos. However, in 12.04, after installing mplayer, I do not see open with option in preference dialog. Could you please tell me how to add mplayer to the list.
I am pasting screenshot of my menus. Please let me know If I am missing any thing.
Note: In second image, video option contains single Movie player entry.
When I double click on a video file in Gnome Commander, for some reason it opens in Movie Player (Totem?) instead of VLC, which is set as preferred for all file types. Clicking on the same file from Nautilus opens the file in VLC.
Is there a way to force Gnome Commander to use "standard" gnome mime-type associations?
Update:
Following iamsid's answer below, this is what I did:
Edit the file ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list (if the file does not exist, create it), and add the following:
[Default Applications]
video/x-msvideo=vlc.desktop
video/x-flv=vlc.desktop
video/mp2t=vlc.desktop
video/mp4=vlc.desktop
video/mpeg=vlc.desktop
video/ogg=vlc.desktop
video/x-theora+ogg=vlc.desktop
video/x-ms-wmv=vlc.desktop
You can of course add other mime types as needed. To see a file's mime type, you can right-click on a file in Gnome Commander, go to properties and then the Metadata tab. Expand the "file" item and you will see the mime type under "Format" tag.
vlc.desktop already exists in /local/share/applications, so you can use that, I used a custom .desktop file in my ~/local/share/applications folder, but found out it's not necessary.
Using GNOME Mplayer everytime I play a video, I get the annoying dialog pop-out in the screenshot below.
