[arch-general] Gstreamer upgrade broke rhythmbox streams?
I listen to quite a few radio stations through rhythmbox, and all of them now fail to play with an error of "Could not determine type of stream." I noticed that gstreamer updated yesterday to 1.4.3. Might that be the issue? Are others experiencing similar problems?

not sure if that's the reason in your case, i'm using clementine, not rhythmbox, but i think it might very well be: i used to use ffmpeg-complete, a package from AUR instead of the ffmpeg package from [extra]. after that AUR package received an update to a decoder file it became impossible to decode network streams. (forgot the exact file / codec name.) switching back to the ffmpeg package from [extra] solved the problem for me. looking now i don't see that package, ffmpeg-complete, anymore, so no point reporting this as a bug. -- ys phani.

I don't use ffmpeg-complete (I just use the one from [extra]. I downgraded to gst-plugins-*-1.4.2* and all streams work again. The issue lies in gst-plugins-*-1.4.3* . --SM

strange; my streams still work with gst-plugins 1.4.3* something different in how rhythmbox & clementine do things. please let me know when you file a bug. can't reproduce but would like to know how this develops. -- phani.

Actually, it affects pithos as well. Pithos spits out the same error when loading a station. Downgrading fixed that issue too. I'll report the issue now. --SM
