Thanks Doug for your extensive plugin review. Maybe we should continue this in a new grilo-plugins bug (I noticed we can report bugs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grilo-plugins , is that a bad idea?).
One of them might be an actual totem bug though: jamendo works in rhythmbox (at least on 14.04). Though I noticed there is at least 1 empty folder called "Westing*House", not sure if that is a bug (related to the non-alphanumeric character?) or if it's simply served empty by jamendo. The other folders I tested work and I can listen to the contained media. I agree that screen-scraping youtube is probably a bad idea, if that's how the youtube plugin works. I'm not opposed to disabling most of the apparently(?) under-maintained plugins after testing them in the special grilo browse test tool. Most of the content can easily be retrieved using a web browser. While it'd be nice to search and watch youtube through totem, it's almost impossible to listen to/watch DLNA shared media without a proper client. VLC has a strange "fetch all media from the media share before doing anything" implementation leading to a few minutes wait time before I can listen to my music, XBMC is not what I'm looking for, and the other clients I know need grilo. While this bug and the rhythmbox bug have few "affects me too" clicks, that's probably because the average user has no idea what grilo is, they just want DLNA and from a quick google search, there's almost no DLNA support in Ubuntu, so… :-) [Sorry for evangelizing all the time BTW. I'm a big fan of UPnP, but I realize this might be annoying so I'll stop now.] -- 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.
