All system elements, including the gstreamer components, are the latest and greatest according to Synaptic. I also installed ffmpeg, but that didn't change anything. When Rhythmbox is invoked locally on the media server (now upgraded to 9.04), it plays all the formats that are of interest to me: ogg, m3u and pls. When invoked remotely via X11 through an ssh tunnel, it plays only ogg files. When I try to play an m3u stream, it complains: Couldn't start playback A text/uri-list decoder plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed. When I try to play a pls stream, it complains: Couldn't start playback Could not determine type of stream. But ogg files play perfectly when invoked remotely! And all file types play perfectly well when Rhythmbox is run locally on the 9.04 media server! What I want to do is run Rhythmbox on this small media server, but have its interface displayed via X11 through the ssh tunnel on a remote screen on my big Ubuntu system. The media server will be hooked up via audio cables to my stereo system, so I am not trying to do anything tricky like run the audio back via ssh to another system. This should work, but it does not under 8.10 or 9.04. Oddly enough, it seemed to work with the media server running 8.04. Weird, huh?
