The point is that the misbehaving could be in either the grilo plugins, or in totem itself. So if the problem is in Totem, and you remove plugins from the system, then other applications that work fine with such plugins won't have the opportunity to use them.
On the other hand, such bugs could be already fixed in recent versions. Are those problems specific to Ubuntu? Any idea if they are present also in Debian? Regarding the last paragraph, Grilo and plparser use mainly two libraries for the work: GData, that provides access to the Youtube API, and libquvi, that helps to get the real URL for further displaying. The changes that YouTube does are mainly about the later. So it totally depends on the libquvi version you have in the system. In general libquvi is pretty updated, so if you keep in sync with the latest releases very likely everthing will work fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1035701 Title: grilo plugins should be enabled in Totem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1035701/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
