I have tracked the (initial) bug down to totem_pl_parser_mime_type_from_data().
The m3u is first detected as audio/x-mpegurl (which is correct), then later on, it is detected as text/plain by g_content_type_guess() based on its content (which is correct too). The problem is that text/plain is then tested only against a list of dual_types, not including m3u (which is in a list called special_types), so totem_pl_parser_mime_type_from_data() fails, making the url "unhandled" by totem-plparser. It is then passed by totem to gstreamer. This should probably go upstream. -- totem no longer able to play m3u playlists https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
