This is rhythmbox not realizing that it’s a streaming url — it’s trying to open it like it’s an mp3 file. The way iTunes handles radio stations like that is when you click the track that is the radio station, iTunes fetches the stream itself. What rhythmbox is trying to do is to ask the server to fetch it for it, and the server won’t do that (which is what that error means).
I think either:
1. Rhythmbox doesn’t understand streaming radio stations in iTunes
2. I’m not sending the metadata that Rhythmbox needs to be able to tell it’s a streaming radio station.
Does rhythmbox pick up streaming radio stations when they are advertised from iTunes?
