Can't change the default app for opening AVI files

I'm using Cinnamon on Devuan ASCII (which is essentially Debian Stretch without systemd).



I'm trying to change the default player for AVI files from Dragon player to Gnome-MPV.



enter image description here



But - while this seems to be possible, after making the change the default player is still Dragon - nothing has happened.



I would try to debug this myself if I'd gotten any kind of an error message, but I don't even have that. What do I do?
