Bug Description
Issue
=====
8tracks service shows a popup window when a song from a new playlist is about to start playing. The text of the window varies:
"Required plugin not found - Nuvola Player requires to install plugins to support the following multimedia feature: ABOUT protocol source."
"gnome-
"Invalid commandline. The parameters passed to the application had an invalid format. Please file a bug! The parameters were: gstreamer|
Cause
=====
The issue occurs only if Flash plugin is disabled or isn't installed. 8tracks website seems to check for support of HTML5 audio somehow and this check triggers installation of "About protocol source" plugin.
Status
======
The issue is caused by a bug in a third-party library, so it cannot be fixed in Nuvola Player and has been reported upstream.
=> https:/
However, a workaround has been found - launch Nuvola Player from terminal with this command: GST_INSTALL_
Nuvola Player has been modified to apply the work-around automatically at start-up:
- Fix committed to lp:nuvola-player/2.4.x as r834. Will be released in the next maintenance release Nuvola Player 2.4.1. <http://
- Fix committed to lp:nuvola-player as r837. Will be released in the next stable release Nuvola Player 2.5.0. <http://

Thanks for taking time to report this issue. Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce it on my development machines. However, I'll try to find a workaround for the issue anyway. Could you attach a screenshot of the Nuvola Player window with the annoying message?
