RhythmBox wants text/html decoder plugin ??

[William Case]

Hi;

Error messages:

"A text/html decoder plugin is required to play this stream, but not
installed."

I can find no such plugin. Trying to get
http://www.cbc.ca/listen/streams/r1_ottawa_32.html
working.

Plus others.


NPR
http://www.npr.org/templates/player/mediaPlayer.html?action=3&t=live1&islist=false

opens the NPR radio in its own Media window. I would like to get it to
open it with RhythmBox.

It was working in RhythmBox before using shoutcast-playlist.pls. Now I
get ""http://scfire-dll-aa02.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1062": Resource
Not Found"

Any suggestions.

Here, I get Totem saying it wants a WMA 8 plugin. I wonder if you got a
HTTP error page during the attempt, and it's goofily trying to display
that?

I can't remember how to stop Totem taking over browser media embedding
to try another system (beyond the obvious, of yum removing all of
totem).

What is really annoying is that I had both working for a week. Then,
today after some upgrades (I am not sure there is a connection) I went
to use Rhythmbox and I started getting text/html decoder plugin
warning.

Bill,

I can successfully play the audio stream you are wanting by using
http://www.cbc.ca/livemedia/cbcr1-ottawa.asx as the URL instead of the
one you listed above. I did it by looking at the source of the webpage
(to my knowledge, rhythmbox has never been able to parse and extract a
stream from HTML...how would it know what stream if there were more than
one?) and creating a new "Internet Radio Station". Also, since it is a
windows media stream, you'll need gstreamer-plugins-bad and/or
gstreamer-plugins-ugly (I'm not sure which one specifically, I always
install both). I assume you know how/where to get that...

Now, if you want to go to the HTML page and just have rhythmbox open it
up, I think you'll need to do a combination of disabling JavaScript for
that page (there's a JavaScript player that is wrapping the URL) and
also tell your browser that you don't want to use the totem plugin for
that media/mime-type.

I have the good, bad and ugly installed (with dependencies)-- still no
go. Tried http://www.cbc.ca/livemedia/cbcr1-ottawa.asx -- no go.

I am now getting the warning "requires plugin: Windows Media Audio 8
decoder".

What is really frustrating is when I originally opened Rhythmbox there
were a list of FM stations available -- including the CBC. Therefore,
somehow, the CBC FM stations are playable on Linux and through Rhythmbox
without additional downloads. I have been listening to CBC1 and CBC2
for over a week.

I deleted the entire original play list by mistake and am unable to
retrieve it. I just wanted the CBC from that list anyways.

I got NPR working by being directed to the shoutcast-playlist.pls site.
I futzed about and got it working (not sure EXACTLY what I did) in
Rhythmbox.

The Listen using the NPR Media Player (requires Adobe Flash) link works,
opening a special window in FireFox but won't play now in Rhythmbox. I
can re-futz if I know I have something like the CBC working.

Why everything should suddenly quit is beyond me!

However, the following links worked.

http://vorbis.nm.cbc.ca:80/cbcr1-toronto.ogg

http://vorbis.nm.cbc.ca:80/cbcr2-toronto.ogg

You can go to

http://www.cbc.ca/listen/ogg.html

to get the Linux download links for FM radio. Make sure you have the
Ogg Vorbis libraries installed first.

I futzed at 'shoutcast-playlist' I downloaded one station and got it
working. I expect I can now get the stations I want by more
downloading.

I didn't notice, but in the last set of upgrades was there an Ogg or
related upgrade?
