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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1035701 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.
