how to make vlc to default videoplayer in gnome



Dear all,

I have problems with setting up the default video player program in GNOME.

I tried to vi /etc/gnome/defaults.list as root.

I modified a line first like this:
video/flv=vlc.Totem

I quit from my gnome session, than started the X again.

The default app still wasn't vlc, so I tried to edit /etc/gnome/defaults.list like this:
video/flv=vlc.Totem.desktop

A repeated the gnome restart procedure, but the default player still hasn't change.

Can anyone help me, what is the correct text has to be in defaults.list to make vlc to my default player?
Or is there any other file I have to modify?

I use debian 8.6 amd64 version which is upgraded from debian 8.5
