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.
