totem won't play last file of m3u list if there's no windows endline CR/LF

[Pablo Castellano]

Binary package hint: totem

I have an album ripped using windows so the m3u file has Windows newline CR/LF on every line (those ^M seen in vi).
The problem is when you are playing the album using the m3u file and the last song arrives.
If there's no newline character at the end, totem doesn't parse well the line and shows a popup saying:
"An error occurred. Location not found"

thank you for your bug report, that's not an ubuntu specific issue though, could you open it on bugzilla.gnome.org too where the people writting the software will read it too?

[Pablo Castellano (pablocastellano)]

Done.
Upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553130
