Description Frederic Crozat 2005-01-10 14:34:36 UTC 
to reproduce :
1/go to http://last.fm/ and create an account
2/choose play on their website to start audio stream
3/totem will start on the m3u and then fails to play the stream with the
following error :

There is no plugin to handle this movie.

This is with xine-lib 1.0

File plays back fine on the local filesystem, playlist can be parsed fine, the
problem seems to be with the mpeg audio demuxer.
We'll see what gives.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2005-01-14 00:28:03 UTC 
Hacky patch to xine-lib from Thibaut Mattern to fix the stuttering when playing
with xine-lib.

The problem is that it won't suffice with Totem, as we hang/spin the network
trying to get the mime-type of the mp3 stream.
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2005-01-30 00:28:27 UTC 
gnome-vfs can now check the mime-type correctly, but that still doesn't fix our
problem. It works with xine-ui (although it can't seem to stop) but doesn't with
Totem.
Comment 4 Frederic Crozat 2005-02-08 09:54:32 UTC 
hmm, I've just applied Christian fix for gnome-vfs with icecast server on
gnome-vfs 2.8.3 and totem (with non patched xine backend) is able to play
last.fm stream without any problem..
Comment 5 Frederic Crozat 2005-02-10 14:31:00 UTC 
Closing since bug seems to be fixed.
