14.04 - video files associations

[marchello_lippi2]

Hi all,

One of my machines still runs on 14.04 (lubuntu desktop), I know it's outdated and not supported anymore, but the hardware is rather old and weak, also it works just fine except one issue with video files associations.

So, I can open vlc manually and through its menu open any video file, this works.
I can double-click on any .ts video file in GUI file manager, this works.

No other video file like .mpeg, .avi etc can be opened by double-click in GUI file manager. Somehow it opens terminal window instead of video player.

Tried uninstalling vlc and installing it again. Tried installing many video players that I was able to google. No luck.

What configuration file(s) content should I share in order to get some help from you?
Please advise.
Thanks for your attention.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is in extended support and now Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and is supported by Canonical via Ubuntu Advantage

FYI: I used devices from 2003 & newer in testing Lubuntu releases up to 19.04 (pentium 4, pentium M, pentium D etc) when 32-bit was dropped; then for subsequent 18.04 re-spins, so I can't imagine anyone is using pentium 3 or older equipment than that (though I don't think pentium III will boot anything past 11.04 anyway).

FYI: Lubuntu support ended for 14.04 in 2017-April; 3 years only
