[opensource-dev] Replacement for QuickTime media plugin - a straw man proposal

[Nicky Perian]

Should avi abd wmv files be moved from cef to vlc plugin.
Made a change locally and it worked.
<mimetype name="video/x-ms-wmv">
<label name="video/x-ms-wmv_label">
Movie (Windows Media WMV)
</label>
<widgettype>
movie
</widgettype>
<impl>
media_plugin_libvlc
</impl>
</mimetype>
<mimetype menu="1" name="video/x-msvideo">
<label name="video/x-msvideo_label">
Movie (AVI)
</label>
<widgettype>
movie
</widgettype>
<impl>
media_plugin_libvlc
</impl>
</mimetype>
