I am trying to get this url to work in Rythmbox....http://www.thecoast.net.nz/Listenlive/ However after connecting I get to following message. "Couldn't start playback A text/html decoder plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed." I have searched a few forum threads but all seem to point to things I already have installed. Does anyone know of a specific plugin that is required for this address
Looking at the source code of that webpage, I got the following link working in Rhythmbox:

Nope, no install script necessary. Just follow these steps (on Ubuntu 8.10): - open rhythmbox - navigate to Library -> Radio - right-click in the list on the right hand side and select "New Internet Radio Station" - paste the link in the dialog box that popped up and click "Add" - select this new internet radio and click on "Play" NB: Rhythmbox seems a bit buggy and might not manage to play the radio immediately. But after a few times double-clicking on the radio (or selecting the station and the clicking on the "Play" button) it finally starts playing the stream.
