A zip file with a screenshot of the rythmbox and clementine message

The message "GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error." appears  on Clementine when I try to add some radio station stream.

In the Rythmbox the message is "The parameters passed to the application had an invalid format. Please file a bug!

The parameters were:
--transient-for=94371847
gstreamer|1.0|rhythmbox|text/html decoder|decoder-text/html".

I don't know what to do.

This is quite a bad error message of course, but IMHO it's up to the application to do something better here or catch this case.

What's happening is that the URL you're trying to play returns an HTML page and not a media stream. Perhaps the page has some player embedded, but GStreamer doesn't handle HTML pages :)
