It is rather amusing, that ubuntu prides itself as "it just works" distro - yet grilo and upnp in totem work out of box in debian, and someone decided to explicitly disable in ubuntu...
Add grilo back. UPNP and friends should just work out of box, currently people write horrible instructions like the one below to make it happen: http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/240-ubuntu-precise-upnp-dlna-client Instead, just apply this patch to totem packaging. ** Patch added: "Re-add grilo support." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/1035701/+attachment/3281688/+files/fix-grilo.patch -- 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 “totem” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed 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 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: totem 3.4.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-9.9-generic 3.5.0 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-9-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.4-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Aug 11 14:32:15 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Alpha amd64 (20120707) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: totem UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/1035701/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
