[Bug 1035701] Re: grilo plugins should be enabled in Totem

[Florian W.]

Doug: I can't test totem with grilo (I'm on trusty) so I can only speak
for rhythmbox with grilo, which works almost perfectly fine (the
rhythmbox-grilo plugin itself shows some strange behaviour though). I
know that rhythmbox has a blacklist of grilo plugins to ignore so maybe
the bad plugins are filtered.

* DLNA plugin: I have observed no crashes / misbehaviours
* Jamendo plugin: Admittedly I don't use it a lot, but I don't remember it crashing or failing
* The Guardian Videos, Radio France, Euronews: These just show no contents. Probably no audio items served through those plugins. I noticed the rhythmbox git version has some changes related to filtering out sources without audio content.

Adding a blacklist for every application that uses grilo seems overkill.

So… The DLNA plugin is probably the most important one for both,
rhythmbox and totem. If some of the grilo plugins cause problems, maybe
the -plugins package should be split (grilo-plugins-bad / -ugly /
-whatever) or broken plugins simply removed from the package.

Title:
  grilo plugins should be enabled in Totem

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Triaged
Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I see no good reason why they're not. For the most part they all work, any that don't are a grilo bug, (like vimeo), & shouldn't affect being enabled.
  If sticking with 3.4.3/gstreamer .10/grilo 0.1 (0.1.2 is available) it would seem straightforward to enable & have installed
  (inc. it in totem-plugins here in a test rebuild

  If moving to totem 3.4.4+/gstreamer1.0/grilo 0.2 then have tested that
  here, works ok though ATM not as good as 0.1 , though again any grilo
  issies are grilo bugs
