Totem doesn't offer an "Enqueue Location..." or similar option.

[Troy R.]

Binary package hint: totem

Totem doesn't offer an option to queue a stream to play after local files in the playlist. It only offers an "Open Location..." option which clears the playlist entirely, playing only the stream.

I expected to be able to queue an internet radio stream (that plays normally in Totem when using the "Open Location..." function) after files in a playlist.

Instead, I found no option to do so.

One workaround is to run

$ totem --enqueue http://some.domain.tld/stream.m3u

which will enqueue the stream in the running Totem's playlist.

This is upstream already. Sorry, folks.

It would be really nice to see implemented, though, even if it is an Ubuntu-specific patch.
