I think the default "video" player is totem, on Gnome. And try as I

they'll play just about anything, from the get go.
Usually, one can right-click on a file in a file browser, or on the
desktop, and choose "properties." When the properties window pops up,
go to the "open with" tab, and that'll set the program that will open
that type of file up, whenever you double-click on them.

I wanted to be able to go down the list in a file manager and and double
click to start the viewer. That worked once I was able to make VLC the
default, they were all .mov "Quicktime Videos" among a number of jpeg's.
Now I see Apple has introduced another format "HEIC." I don't think we
have a decoder for that one yet?
I don't think that's the first time I made V:C the default, perhaps that
setting does not survive system updates?
Thanks for the response.
