2015 checking in. Why is this still a bug NINE years later? Running Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, FF v38.0, Rhythmbox 3.0.2. When clicking a .pls link within FF, FF launches Rhythmbox, and appears that Rhythm box indeed reads the .pls file (at least it did from SomaFM), and places appropriate entries in the 'radio' category, but it does NOT *play* that file unless the user manually clicks the play button. Haven't these devs ever listened to music before? How is this still a painful, multi-step process requiring 40 minutes of research to resolve?

So when a user chooses "open this file" in firefox, rhythmbox pops up and nothing happens. I think the same goes for .m3u playlists. On the other hand, it's a shame rhythmbox doesn't support external playlists well... It makes it unusable when it comes to internet radios and stuff like that.... :/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/62430/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
