Browse .rmvb files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What feature or enhancement would you like to see in Remuco?

The .rmvb files aren't visible while i'm browsing the filesystem from the 
client application. As (I guess) it's a simple thing to do, I'm suggesting it 
for you.

Please describe a use case that motivates this feature:

I'm seeing a movie on mplayer, with my laptop conected to my television, and 
it's ending, then I start browsing my filesystem, looking for another movie to 
watch, but this movie has the rmvb extension, so the current version of remuco 
doesn't "see" the file, so I have to go to the computer and select the file 
manually. It's a little annoying, so as it's very easy to develop this feature 
(again, I guess), I'm suggesting that.

(Sorry about the double feature request, I'm just trying to help make remuco 
even better)

Remuco uses a Python library called mimetypes to detect the mime type of a file 
and then it checks if this mime type matches the ones supported by a player. 
Only matching files are shown in the client file browser. mplayer supports all 
'video/...' and 'audio/...' mime types. The problem is that the .rmvb 
extensions is unknown to the python mimetypes module. This module gets its mime 
type information from various file on your system. One such file is 
/etc/default. A manual fix would be to edit this file and add a line like this:

video/rmvb rmvb

If this does not make you happy, contact whomever is responsible for the 
/etc/mime.types file on your system :P .

Thank you, I added the rmvb format to the /etc/mime.types and it worked!
