Description
Here's the full message from running rythmbox with -d:
(08:46:59) [0x2f17820] [set_state_and_wait] rb-player-gst.c:633: got error from stream: Cannot resolve proxy hostname (gstsouphttpsrc.c(913): gst_soup_http_src_finished_cb (): /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstSoupHTTPSrc:source: libsoup status code 3)
My proxy config (a corporate one) is set via gnome's "Automatic Proxy Configuration" pac/wpad url. Changing this to 'direct connection' makes rhythmbox able to play back the url in question fine. The error suggests a gstreamer problem; however, running gst-launch -v souphttpsrc location=<url>
! filesink location=<local file>
successfully downloads the file with the proxy setting still applied. Changing the auto-configuration hostname to its resolved ip address still generates the cannot resolve error.
Rhythmbox version 0.12.8 GStreamer version 0.10
