Public bug reported: Binary package hint: totem
When I try to open a text .m3u playlist file with totem, it complains that it cannot open the playlist with the message: "GstDecodeBin: This appears to be a text file". The following messages are also output to the console: ** Message: Error: This appears to be a text file gstdecodebin.c(1657): type_found (): /play/decodebin3: decodebin cannot decode plain text files The particular playlist was just a one-file-per-line playlist I generated using shell scripts: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:05:45-- [~]$ listpodcasts.sh ~/docs/podcasts | grep -iv mp3 | cut -d' ' -f4 > /tmp/playlist.m3u [EMAIL PROTECTED]:05:47-- [~]$ cat /tmp/playlist.m3u /home/david/docs/podcasts/Best_Of...__Large_Quicktime_/bestof--0155--popsiren-0028--large.h264.mp4 /home/david/docs/podcasts/Best_Of...__Large_Quicktime_/bestof--0158--systm-0071--large.h264.mp4 /home/david/docs/podcasts/Best_Of...__Large_Quicktime_/bestof--0161--diggreel-0038--large.h264.mp4 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:05:50-- [~]$ totem /tmp/playlist.m3u ** Message: Error: This appears to be a text file gstdecodebin.c(1657): type_found (): /play/decodebin0: decodebin cannot decode plain text files I also get the same error if I try and open the playlist file from the menus, rather than passing it on the command line like above.
