Enable grilo plugin

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Even though i don't see it as plugin in rhythmbox it does install - so my questions - isn't this bug fixed than ?

Retitling since this won't be fixed for Precise.

This is yet not fixed in Quantal and it seems is neither fixed yet in Raring.

Also, the same problem seems to happen for Totem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/1035701

In here there are instructions for installing through PPA in Precise:

http://blog.andresgomez.org/2012/09/05/nslu2-grilo-and-upnp-in-ubuntus-gnome/

Same as with totem, grilo would need a main inclusion request so that these packages in main can build depend on it.

grilo MIR at bug #1116098.

I've modified and uploaded (to PPA) the raring rhythmbox package to enable grilo plugin support, in case anyone else wants to use this on raring:
https://launchpad.net/~florian-will/+archive/grilo-rb

Good job Florian! ;-)

It looks like grilo is moving to main, so maybe we can get this bug fixed upstream in Trusty+1 or even Trusty?

This bug fixed plus the most recent minidlna = nice setup :) [Older minidlna releases like the one in Trusty are not compatible with current grilo.]

This is the debdiff I use in my PPA to enable grilo in the current trusty package (3.0.2-0ubuntu2).

Ordering of dependencies etc. is slightly different in the debian package… I noticed too late that it might be a good idea to reduce the debian->ubuntu diff size instead of increasing it.

The attachment "Enable grilo in rhythmbox" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.

I agree that once bug #1116098 is really fixed (grilo moved to main), it'd be nice to have Rhythmbox with grilo enabled.

You know Ubuntu/Canonical processes much better than I do, so I guess that Wiki page might be wrong/misleading:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess

It says "The MIR team reviews the reports, and sets acceptable ones to [..] Fix Committed. [..] Add the package to a seed, or as a (build-)dependency of a package in main. [..] The archive administrators will promote approved packages to main if some other package or the seeds want it"

According to that page I'd assume that someone needs to add a main dependency to grilo somewhere, like for example from rhythmbox, in order for the main inclusion process to continue. Something like the debdiff I posted above.

If that is not the case, what else needs to happen? Something the MIR team needs to do?

Hey Florian, thanks for your work with the debdiff, it works great!

I've prepared a branch (with you as the commit and upload author) to make sponsoring team's life even easier. I just capitalized the "lp" in changelog :) I've also built it in the PPA and tested myself since I needed to stream music from my DLNA server anyway: https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/grilo

Thanks Timo, it's really nice to see some DLNA love in Ubuntu.

This bug was fixed in the package rhythmbox - 3.0.2-0ubuntu3
