hmm..
could you try this command? when I do this
xmms "http://www.kqlz.org/streams/ogg1.pls"
I get xmms, a "Play files" dialog, and the message "Directory
unreadable: No such file or directory" That's the exact same thing
that happens when I double click on it streamtuner too.
if I say
wget "http://www.kqlz.org/streams/ogg1.pls"
xmms ogg1.pls
then that works....
If that first way works for you, then I have a bum xmms I guess! I
just assumed that XMMS didn't take URLs because of the M3U thing (I
thought maybe was some sort of work around) and the gnome MIME thing
for it says X Multimedia System (No URIs) I don't really know WHAT
that means, but it seemed suspicous :)
