Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
I use Ampache to manage, organize and play my music remotely (meaning all my music is on a server on my lan and not on my local machine). When an external m3u is sent to FireFox and it asks you "What should FF do with this file" and you pick "Open with => Rythmbox, Rythmbox does nothing. MoviePlayer, Mplayer, VLC have no problem playing external m3u playlists. Since Rhythmbox is the default media player in Ubuntu, Rhythmbox should have this capability.
