How to play internet radio URL with query?

[diracsbracket]

Hi,
I am trying to make Clementine play an internet radio that has a playlist
URL that includes a long secret query string:

http://some.radio.com/1fm/_definst_/1fm.stream/playlist.m3u8?_lsu_sa_=3935363f5cd
... e734b0ae2ddd2

I tried this in VLC (which does not use GStreamer of course), and it works.
However, I would like to make it work on Clementine. On Clementine fora, it
is suggested that the problem lies with GStreamer.

For example, I tried using on Debian 9.5 (raplaced part of the string by ...
for the sake of brevity here):

```
gst-launch-1.0 -v playbin
uri=http://some.radio.com/1fm/_definst_/1fm.stream/playlist.m3u8?_lsu_sa_=3935363f5cd23e03e1...efc6c3e734b0ae2ddd2
```

This results in the following output:

```
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...

```

But it stops after that.  If I use playbin3, I get a single additiona line

```
buffering...0%
```

Anyone has an idea what is going on or what the required modifications might
be to make Clementine work with this kind of URL ?

Thanks!!!
```

The streaming server might perform checks on the client (user-agent,
referer or cookies). Can you set GST_DEBUG like this?

GST_DEBUG_FILE=gst.log GST_DEBUG="3,soup*:6" gst-launch-1.0 ...

And send the compressed gst.log file please.

Hi Philippe,
Many thanks for taking the time to look into this.

I attached the gst.log file as you requested.

Merci!

gst.log <http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/file/t378649/gst.log>

Hi,

So it's not a server-side issue it seems, HLS fragments are correctly
downloaded but then the mpegts packetizer is unable to compute the PTS
values to stream time.

Hi Philippe,
Thanks for showing how to get log files. The problem is clear from there,
and it seems I should be looking
in mpegtspacketizer.c or so.

Since that one seems to be part of the gst-plugins-bad set, I suppose there
is no point in submitting a bug report?

Of course there is. gst-plugins-bad is not bad!
Please file a bug report. If you can also, please attach a short sample
which you could get with something like

gst-launch-1.0 <uri> ! hlsdemux ! filesink location=stream.ts

Thank you Philippe.
I submitted a bug report:
