m3u file open in editor not in the opener specify in config file.

I want open m3u file in mpv

xdg-mime query filetype pl.m3u                                   ─╯
audio/x-mpegurl

I see that m3u is a audio file.

yazi.toml

play = [
	{ run = 'mpv "$@"', orphan = true, for = "unix" },
	{ run = 'mpv "%1"', orphan = true, for = "windows" },
	{ run = '''mediainfo "$1"; echo "Press enter to exit"; read''', block = true, desc = "Show media info", for = "unix" },
]

[open]
rules = [
	{ mime = "audio/*", use = [ "play", "reveal" ] },

But when I click enter on the m3u file. it open in editor (nvim). How to fix it?

What is the output when you run xdg-mime query default audio/x-mpegurl ?

 xdg-mime query default audio/x-mpegurl                          ─╯

Yeah, I have no idea where the problem could be. I can't reproduce it in my environment. The only thing I can suggest is to try Yazi nightly if you haven't already. Sorry.

You should use file instead of xdg-mime, https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/yazi#open

[woshichuanqilz]

1. I use the file command the mime type is text/plain anyway to change it? Make the .m3u file recognized as "video/*"
2. And I change the config to this still not work.

[open]
open-m3u = [{ run = 'mpv "$@"', orphan = true, desc = "m3u" }]
append_rules = [
	{ name = "*.m3u", use = ["open-m3u", "reveal"] },
]

You've confused the difference between "open" and "opener":

• opener docs: https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/yazi#opener
• open docs: https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/yazi#open

Also confused the difference between prepend_* and append_*, see https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/overview#mixing

In the doc

And instead want to customize your keys upon the default, you can use prepend_* or append_* directories to prepend or append them to the default (See keymap.toml for details)

I know the difference between prepend and append, but the doc seems not said the effect of prepend / append.

I guess that there is an order to get the match type/name from the rules (prepend_rules > rules > append_rules). If one file is match the prepend the check for rules will stop. Is that right?

[sxyazi]

Yep, Yazi will pick the first matching run.

Since Yazi selects the first matching key to run, prepend always has a higher priority than default, and append always has a lower priority than default
