If the only thing that this plugin does is provide a list of audio books, and the ability to search through them, I would advise you to write a plugin to "grilo": http://live.gnome.org/Grilo In the future (hopefully for GNOME 3.0) it will provide the majority of sources for Totem to use, and your "plugin" would automatically get UPnP support. > so, I figured I'd get an python example and go from there... > > however, it looks like compiling a totem plugin requires a build of > Totem? > > And when I tried to build Totem from git/master, I got > ./configure: line 4813: syntax error near unexpected token `0.6.7' > ./configure: line 4813: `GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_CHECK(0.6.7)' You probably ignored warnings during the autogen.sh run.

Ubuntu 10.4 is an old distribution to be trying to build Totem against. If you really want to build Totem master, I would advise you to upgrade to the latest version (they have some GNOME 3.x packages already) of Ubuntu, or use something like jhbuild to compile totem master.
