Bug Description
When trying to play a majority of the tracks from Grooveshark plugin, the following pop-up appeears:
Unable To Play Selected File
Unfortunately Moovida cannot play the selected file.
GStreamer error: Could not open resource for reading.
Note that this affects searches, user playlists and autoplay generated content. I can check that the same playlists play without any problem in Grooveshark website. The issue seems to be somewhat random - sometimes given track plays, sometimes not and it was affecting the plugin since a long time. Unfortunately in last one or two weeks the frequency of errors became so high that the plugin is basically unusable.
Additionally, the default behaviour of Moovida on this error is to pop-up a message and return to the top of the playlist view. This is somewhat annoying shortcomming, as one might want to have at least option of skipping to the next song in the playlist (or maybe also retrying the current one - which sometimes helps). This is especially troublesome for autoplay, because there is no way of getting back to the sutoplay flow (autoplay generated songs are not in the playlist).
Moovida version: 1.0.7
Plugin version: 0.2.6.1
Platform: Debian Lenny

Thanks for the report Jacek. So it seems you can reliably reproduce the bug. Can you try running moovida from a terminal with the following command and attach the resulting log file to see if we can extract some more information on what's going on?

I agree that when a track in the playlist fails to play, (after displaying an error message) the player should go to the next track instead of going back to the list view.
