Bug#562028: fails to read playlist

[Siward de Groot]

Package: vlc
Version: 1.0.3-1

Hello vlc maintainers,
i used to run stable, in which reading playlists  worked without problems,
and have recently dist-upgraded to unstable,
and now it fails to read these same playlists.

A playlist that this happens with has following content :
#EXTM3U
mms://82.94.231.66/gtonline
http://82.94.231.66/gtonline

When vlc tries to read this playlist
it produces following errormessage in terminal that i started it from :
5350C951:/$ vlc &
[1] 20039
5350C951:/$ VLC media player 1.0.3 Goldeneye
[0x8697ab0] main interface error: no interface module matched "globalhotkeys,
none"
[0x8697ab0] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[0x85f3088] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization 
failed
[0x85f3088] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' t
o use vlc without interface.
[0x872e920] xml xml error: XML parser error (line 1) : Document is empty

[0x872e848] playlist demux error: can't read xml stream
[0x8856b80] access_mms access error: no data received

When i then open the "Media" dialog, and select "Open network stream",
and fill in same adress that appears in playlist file, it works well :
[0x8856b80] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x1] audio (19 kb/s)
[0x8856b80] access_mms access: connection successful

So it looks like the file parser is borken.


Thanks for providing vlc,
life is better with webradio :-)
