Pithos could not determine type of stream

Asked by coffeehousex

I've encountered a problem - every time I start Pithos it shows up an error that 'it could not determine type of stream'

Here are data from terminal - I'm don't know whether it has anything to do with gstreamer or it is pithos configuration problem.

This seems similar to the as-yet-unexplained bug 602727

Are you using a proxy? Libsoup status code 3 is "SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE_PROXY", but I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean or how to fix it.

Thank you for your help. Solution was quite simple - I've looked upon my proxy settings (System-Preferences-Network Proxy) and checked 'Direct Internet Connection' instead of 'Automatic Proxy Configuration' - that was it.
