Reopening, it's not fixed upstream and it's not guaranteed it'll get into RHEL.

It's filed upstream, and will get into RHEL when it's fixed upstream.

once you've added it it's just impossible to get rid of that non existing movie.

my bad, it can be removed, but it needs totem restart :-) as view is not refreshed after delete action

Comment 11 Jiri Prajzner 2018-07-11 12:13:14 UTC

still present in rhel 7.6 and totem 3.26

Comment 12 Bastien Nocera 2020-02-12 10:47:12 UTC

NAK'ing as the bug still exists upstream, and is non-trivial to fix there. Additionally, as it doesn't cause major malfunctions, crashes, or data loss, it is unlikely to ever be fixed unless it is already fixed upstream.
