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

[Florian W.]

I tried to make exactly that point: grilo works fine with rhythmbox (on
trusty, and ignoring a UI issue with expanding an item in the tree view
that has no child containers).

If totem segfaults, that must be either due to bad grilo integration or totem uses some grilo plugins that are not used by rhythmbox and those segfault.
In the first case, someone should fix totem or totem can't use grilo. In the second case, those plugins should be identified and fixed/removed.

In any case, throwing grilo out of [all?] major music players like
Ubuntu used to do is a bad idea IMHO. I've read numerous complaints
about missing DLNA functionality in Ubuntu. Even getting rid of every
grilo plugin other than DLNA and just using that in rhythmbox is an
improvement over Trusty, where grilo exists in Universe but no[?] common
music player supports it.

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
