Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem
When I try to open a text .m3u playlist file with totem, it complains
that it cannot open the playlist with the message: "GstDecodeBin: This
appears to be a text file". The following messages are also output to
the console:
** Message: Error: This appears to be a text file
gstdecodebin.c(1657): type_found (): /play/decodebin3:
decodebin cannot decode plain text files
The particular playlist was just a one-file-per-line playlist I
generated using shell scripts:

[~]$ totem /tmp/playlist.m3u
** Message: Error: This appears to be a text file
gstdecodebin.c(1657): type_found (): /play/decodebin0:
decodebin cannot decode plain text files
I also get the same error if I try and open the playlist file from the
menus, rather than passing it on the command line like above.
