Mopidy is not playing playlist with stream, the error is:
2016-06-27 11:21:04,171 ERROR [11833:MainThread] mopidy.audio.gst: GStreamer error: gst-stream-error-quark: This appears to be a text file (5)Example playlist to test with is:
# cat /var/lib/mopidy/playlists/ifm1-128mp3.pls
[playlist]
numberofentries=1
File1=http://radio.intergalacticfm.com/1
Title1=Intergalactic FM Main (128k MP3) No Station Such Dedication
Length1=-1
Version=2This has been split off from https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy/issues/1526 and is not fixed by the patch for length smaller than 0. It has to do with file backend that doesn't handle playlist unwrapping .
