Generally speaking, IF there is an answer, it will be posted, simple as that. this is another one of those little problems that fall into Room 101 @JollaHQ never to see the light of day again. As I stated in my comments above, I reported the bug that prevents .PLS files from being played, but still nothing has been done about....I guess some things are simply NOT a priority, but hey, you will learn that once you;'ve been here long enough.

is there a file created somewhere as a result of trying to play it?
I get a very similar notification when trying to play a .PLS file but the .PLS file gets downloaded, when I open it in mediaplayer, it plays.

- .pls play list files don't play because something is broken and they don't get opened automatically by the correct app. (The mediaplayer probably isn't correctly registered as the PLS handled in the file type database).
- Audio/AMR voice messages don't play, because the AMR audio codec is missing on Sailfish for licensing reason. It is openned correct by the mediaplayer, but then the mediaplayer can't do much about the file without the codecs. You need to install them. See my ansers for links.
