MIME Header wild card

In Sophos UTM I used to put video/* in the blocked MIME type list and it would block all videos

I tried doing the same in Sophos XG by creating a new file type and add video/* in the MIME header field and a use it in a web policy to block video files but it does not work

Are wild cards supported in MIME headers like Sophos UTM?

Can you go to Web, Protection, and expand Advanced Settings. Make sure that "Scan audio and video files" is checked.

When this is unchecked, then several things are skipped to improve compatibility with streaming media services. This might include the mime type blocking.

I enabled Scan audio and video and it still does not block files using MIME Header wild card

I also tried MIME header application/* to block all application files an it does not work too

I believe wild cards are not supported in MIME header as in UTM
