yeah seriously, WTF? It's plain freaking stupid that the default association fires an app which does nothing with it?
Here is a workaround (works on 15.04): - install vlc - on opening choose other and select /usr/bin/vlc - save it as default - enjoy direct playback when clicking on a link like http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=2157097 Ubuntu, please remove the association, add pls association to vlc and install that as a default.

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
