If you file passes those two checks explained above, it doesn't mean thumbnail can be generated or can be played successfully.

In Gecko, DataSource(frameworks/base/media/libstagefright/DataSource.cpp sniff()) will sniff the files and try to find the corresponding extractor.

<LI>'''MIME mapper in Gaia'''<br> | |||
There is a mime and file extension mapping list in Gaia(http://mxr.mozilla.org/gaia/source/shared/js/mime_mapper.js). Currently this is used for those media files not in storage, like mail attachment. It can be used to get file extension by passing MIME type. | |||

Basically B2G does "File Type Check" first for newly-added files, and then get the MIME type via a hardcoded file extension- mime type mapped list from nsExternalHelperAppService.cpp to pass it to a decoder created in DecoderTraits.cpp. | |||
