Yes, that's expected, because Galeon can't display MPEG files.

The only gxine.desktop that I can find here doesn't have a MimeType
line. Maybe you want to append a line

MimeType=video/mpeg

to your gxine.desktop (of course only append that line if your
gxine.desktop does not have a MimeType already; if it has, append the
"video/mpeg" separated by a semicolon:

MimeType=audio/mpeg;video/mpeg
)
