Description arawat 2020-09-04 00:43:47 UTC 
SUMMARY
When adding certain radio streams to elisa, elisa fails to play. However, the radio stream can be played with vlc and other media players. Prior to the most recent update, these radio streams worked excellently in elisa.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter a stream - http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/nonuk/sbr_low/llnw/bbc_world_service.m3u8 - HLS stream with AAC encoding
2. Watch as elisa fails to play the stream
3. Play the same stream through a media player like vlc or mpd

OBSERVED RESULT
An error occurs, and the radio icon is replaced by a "not available" icon

EXPECTED RESULT
Elisa plays the stream successfully

SOFTWARE/OS VERSION:
Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20200901
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73
Qt Version: 5.15

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Also tested with git master

Additional information - Looking through Elisa's terminal output, the error message is "Error: "This appears to be a text file""
Comment 2 Fabian Baumanis 2020-10-03 16:19:57 UTC 
I built elisa from source and it's working there.
Which version did you use?
