I can also cofirm that I can't play ANY and ALL url-streaming radio, the player goes on pause and never plays it. It seems to be a problem associated with the latest version of Rhythmbox (2.98), installed on Ubuntu 13.04 (in my case 64 bit)
Ma, In answer to your question about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats, I can confirm that the problem is present even when ubuntu-restricted-extras package is installed. In answer to the query regarding URL's, the following is a list of URL's that I am currenly using Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit, running Rhythmbox 2.97 Radio Bop - http://208.53.158.48:8362/ Flower Power Radio - http://216.66.84.3:5050 Oldies 104 - http://205.188.215.228:8010 Oldies Project - http://178.19.127.144/ UK Country Radio - http://87.117.250.3:9076 Heart Radio - http://media-ice.musicradio.com/HeartLondonMP3 LBC - http://media-ice.musicradio.com/LBC973MP3Low I hope that's enough -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168095 Title: Can't play streaming radios To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1168095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
