I am using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal. Yesterday I down loaded RadioTray 0.6.1 to play internet radio stations but for most of the stations I get "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in" error message. I tried with RhythmBox and get the same error message. I tried google search and none of the post helped me resolve the issue.
Here is the url http://cast2.serverhostingcenter.com/start/anikumar/

Can someone throw some light on this?

I clicked on the shoutcast icon. and saved the playlist instead on opening it. I then opened that in a text editor and got the url to put in the radio station box.

Edit:
My preferred player is DeaDBeeF, and while it doesn't sit in the tray like that, you can add urls to play in a tabbed playlist. You can have various local, and network playlists in different tabs. I do like RadioTray though. Thanks for the tip. I'll play with it awhile, and see if I keep it :^)

Edit2:
I suppose I didn't answer your question. You may need a plugin for that particular stream. Make sure you have some of the proprietary plugins installed. I don't know which offhand, but make sure you at least have the ffmpeg plugin installed. Get it from the package manager.
