GNOME menu entry for Xine DVD playback

Most GNU/Linux distributions include the proper mime types to be handled by Xine when it is installed, but not for DVD Video ISO images on disk. But it’s really easy to add.

If the DVD button in Xine work for real Video DVDs, then just create the /usr/share/applications/xine-open-iso.desktop file with the following content, and you’ll now have the Xine DVD image playback GNOME menu option for ISO images :

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Xine DVD image playback
MimeType=application/x-cd-image;
TryExec=xine
Exec=xine dvd://%f
Icon=xine
Categories=AudioVideo;Player;
NoDisplay=true
StartupNotify=true
