"Stubru" doesn't play in rhythmbox

rolfijn · 2013-05-04 08:26:24

Hello,

Recently I installed gnome 3.8 and rhythmbox. I can play my entire music library without a problem and also the predefined shoutcast streams work fine. I would however like to listen to "Studio Brussel", a belgian radiostation. They offer a stream: http://mp3.streampower.be/stubru-high.mp3 . When I try to play it in rhythmbox, nothing happens. No error but also no music. I can play the stream using mplayer without a problem. When I try to play the stream on a ubuntu 13.04 installation on the same machine (dualboot) it also fails.

The archlinux wiki page on rhythmbox advises to a.) install gstreamer0.10-base-plugins-gnomevfs, which seems obsolete now as rhythmbox uses gstreamer1 now (right?) and b.) to install the grilo and grilo-plugins packages, which I did. The stream still doesn't play. Also, it seems te me this is more to be able to browse streams (instead of play them). The stream also fails when I try to open it in totem. I would therefore suspect a problem with gstreamer, but do not know how to investigate this further.

Now, I would like to know if anybody else can play this stream (which makes it a problem with my particular installation) and if it is a gstreamer problem, how I can investigate it further.

Regards,
Rolf

PS Most other streams I try to add also won't play (but some will!). I haven't found out what is common in the streams that will or will not play. The streams that do play are ogg streams and not mp3

Perhaps this radio should use the extension m3u?

Hi Lucas,

Thanks for the reply. Well, there o no such stream available, and some of the predefined (and working) streams are direct links to an .ogg file. This would for me be an indication that a direct link to an mp3 file should also work. I have used gnome3 and rhythmox in the past and it (the stream) has been working in this way.

Nevermind. Seems to be some upstream bug. Will just have to wait until it lands in arch I suppose. See also these Ubuntu 13.04 bug/question:

[edit] In the mean time you can do killall gvfsd-http to play streams
