To make VLC media as default player to all audio and video files in Linux Mint or Ubuntu, follow the steps below :
steps:
1. Open the Command line terminal ( Ctrl+Alt+T).
2. Type the command : gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
3. This will launch the defaults.list file on gedit.
4. Replace the "totem" with "vlc" in the above file. Make sure you don't make any typo error. Totem is default GNOME player.
5. After replacing save the file. Now, you will be able to play any audio or video file with default player as VLC Media Player.
