Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem
I often play music albums by opening the directory they are in in Totem,
I even have that set as an open-with action. Yes, there is Rhythmbox,
but I do play albums this way over SSH from servers etc, as well as I
like this way of playing music now. :)
If there is an unknown text file in the same directory, it gets added to
the playlist anyway, AND totem will stop playback on this file with the
error "GstDecodeBin2: This appears to be a text file". Highly annoying
when you have to get up and go to the computer just to click the warning
away and delete this entry from the playlist manually.
Images, for instance, gets ignored and are not added in this way.
I propose that either:
1. Unknown text files should not be added to the playlist, or, if that's hard
to do:
2. Such files should just be silently skipped when playing
