Rhythmbox is the default audio player for the Ubuntu distribution (possibly
GNOME in general). It supports audio streams over HTTP.
As soon as Auto Switch Mode is enabled, however, is ceases to work.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enable Auto Switch Mode.
2. Make sure only the default rule (route everything through default
connection) exists.
3. Try to start an audio stream in Rhythmbox.
What is the expected output?
Audio should play nicely just like it does when "Direct Connection" mode is
selected with Proxy Switchy!.
What do you see instead?
The following error pops up in Rhythmbox:
Couldn't start playback
Cannot resolve proxy hostname
Operating system:
Linux
Error Log:
empty.
I believe this issue is different from issue 6 ("Switchy changes system proxy
settings") as to that it should make no difference for Rhythmbox (or other
applications than Chrome for that matter) whether "direct connection" or Auto
Switch Mode with no rule matching and a default of "direct connection" is used.
