[Bug 639760] Re: Sync totem-plugin-arte 0.9.0-1 (universe) from Debian experimental (main)

[Nicolas Delvaux]

I bumped the sync request to 0.9.1-1
See the updated description for the changelog. More details below.

- Asynchronous thumbnail download: with this, when you start with an empty thumbnail cache (first time user or if you didn't use the plugin for at least one week) the plugin is available to search/play dozens of seconds sooner than before! (on my system, it's up to 30 seconds! Of course it depends on the user connection)
And even if your cache is non-empty, you usually win some seconds too.

I consider this as a big usability bugfix, sometimes the download was so
long that "normal" users thought that the plugin crashed.

- Display a default thumbnail if none is available: in this case, it
prevents clutter in the video list (so usability bugfix too)

- Minor bugfixes: mainly, do not exit with some recoverable errors.

This package builds, installs and upgrades well, the new/fixed code is
run each time Totem is launched (with the arte-plugin enabled of
course), so if there were some regressions we would have noticed it.
