Public bug reported: I have Rhythmbox and its Mozilla plugin installed, with (if I read correctly) enables the use of iTunes podcast links.
However, when I click on such a link (example: https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/swr3-gag-des-tages- swr3.de/id268491259?mt=2), I do get a warning about starting "Quicktime 7.6.6 Plugin" and (if I accept) another warning about an external protocol being opened "with xdg-open", but after that, nothing happens. In .xsession-errors I get (totem-plugin-viewer:11017): Gdk-WARNING **: The GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS environment variable is not supported in GTK3. See the documentation for gdk_window_ensure_native() on how to get native windows. TotemEmbedded-Message: Viewer state: STOPPED If I disable the "Quicktime 7.6.6" Plugin, again nothing happens in the GUI, and in .xsession-errors I get gvfs-open: itmss://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/gerhard-schroder-uber-putin/id268491259?i=276468227&mt=2&ign-msr=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.de%2F: Error opening location: location not supported (Error wording might be a little different, I backported it from German) I would expect Rhythmbox to open and import the podcast in question. When I open Rhythmbox manually and click on "Podcasts" then on "Import", and paste the above URL, the podcast is imported and I can play it fine.
