Thanks, I wonder why my grep didn't get that. A 3 years old post on linuxquestions suggests that totem-pl-parser can be omitted if --disable-playlist is passed to brasero, so presumably it is something to do with adding playlists. I suppose it is possible to provide a playlist and use that to control what gets put onto the CD. I should also mention that the post at linuxquestions was about brasero *not* building if totem-pl-parser was already installed - hopefully, that problem is long gone. > However I don't know what I'd need to do to actually *use* totem-pl-parser. > Generally for libraries I consider the build successful if it is properly > linked to parent apps.
