When using Totem, switching to the "Channels" tab and trying to click any of the three pre-installed online channels, none of them works: - Clicking "Rai.tv" and opening on any of the categories causes Totem to crash on SIGSEGV. - Clicking "Apple Movie Trailers" causes lots of parser errors to be printed on stdout and Totem to hang. - Clicking "Euronews" displays an empty window. If it is not feasible to fix this, it could be the best idea to not enable the broken grilo-plugins, at least for now. They are already disabled in Ubuntu since 23.10 and the same patch can be used in Fedora: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grilo-plugins/commit/?id=618d21e1fcd33bf0094d73119f4ed0bdd90e7a5c Reproducible: Always Upstream tickets: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/grilo-plugins/-/issues/89 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/grilo-plugins/-/issues/90 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/grilo-plugins/-/issues/91
Proposed as a Blocker and Freeze Exception for 41-final by Fedora user asciiwolf using the blocker tracking app because: None of the pre-installed plugins in Totem work correctly and they even cause Totem to crash. This degrades the user experience and can also be considered a basic app functionality violation. Instead of shipping a broken feature, it would be the best to disable the broken grilo-plugins (there is a simple patch linked in the bz).
Per votes in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1736 , accepted as a freeze exception and rejected as a blocker.
F41 is GO, removing the freeze exception flag.
Here is a Merge request that disables these plugins: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grilo-plugins/pull-request/3 The fix should be pushed into Rawhide, F41 and F40.
By the way, it would be *great* to also fix or at least disable/remove these three plugins in upstream. Disabling them in downstream is just a temporary solution to not ship a broken thing to end-users.
