playbin seems to do a poor job reporting 'file not found' error,
instead it says:
' A FILE protocol source plugin is required to play this stream,
but not installed.'
I ran into this same issue a couple days ago on Mac OS X, and was
baffled for an hour - then I fixed my path :-)
I'm betting your path is incorrectly specified... perhaps the '\'
should be a '/' ?
