I could play music behind a Squid proxy until authentication was enabled. Unfortunately now Rhythmbox encounters 407 "Authentication required" errors on the terminal when last.fm streams are played. The only visible problem the user sees is that Rhythmbox wants to find a codec for text/html, as the proxy server returns an HTML page with the error.
Attempting to play radio stations results in a much more obvious popup which says "Couldn't start playback" with the error "Proxy Authentication Required". I am using Rhythmbox 0.12.0. The proxy is set correctly (with credentials) in the Gnome configuration and in my ~/.bashrc. I will open a separate bug for this specific problem, but I thought I would note here that (prior to authentication being required) I could play last.fm and readio streams fine through a proxy. -- Rhythmbox don't play music via proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278269 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
