Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
I have a media server at home, running GNUMP3D, which serves M3U files to clients and streams the playlists to said client in a program such as iTunes. Today, from work, I tried downloading an M3U file to play in rhythmbox. When rhythmbox tries to open the M3U file, it says that it needs to search for a text/uri-list decoder, then fails to find one. Because of this, it never actually plays the contents of the M3U file. If you drag the M3U file into the playlists section of the sidebar, its name shows up as "-" and no music shows up in the playlist.
I know that the M3U files from my server are working fine, since I can open them in a text editor, and see their contents. They also play properly in Totem and iTunes.
