Bug Description

Ubuntu 9.10

I tried to open a streaming internet radio with totem and it seems to connect but theres no audio. I also tried to rip the stream with mplayer which results in an audio file with no sound.

So I gst-launch playbin uri= "the site" and got this output.

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
** Message: don't know how to handle text/uri-list
ERROR: from element /GstPlayBin:playbin0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0: A text/uri-list decoder plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed.
Additional debug info:
gstdecodebin.c(986): close_pad_link (): /GstPlayBin:playbin0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0:
No decoder to handle media type 'text/uri-list'
ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll.
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

This is a fairly new bug and just started happening 2 days ago, and this streaming radio station worked fine before then.

It seems there are several other people reporting the problem, but isnt fixed yet

you need to pass the url of the stream to gst-launch not the name of the site.. not a bug.
