it should just come installed with totem 2.24. no need to install the plugin as an extra package.

Whoops, dur. It's installed. But I'm baving problems. When I try to enable it, it gives me an error that reads: Unable to activate plugin Youtube Browser. What can I do to fix this?

I would suggest to run Totem from the command line, so you can have some debug output.

My guess is that you need gnome-python.

Sorry for stealing the thread but it is sorta related, anyone know how to install the mythtv plugin for totem?

Gosh I'm being a little loose, that's what I should have done the whole time Which made me find that ...

... I needed gnome-python. Installed it and it works! Why is it not a dependency?

Okay, so now I'm searching for a video, and it hangs at "Fetching search results..." It never gets past this.

I found this, but I can't figure out how to apply the patch

Sounds like it's included in the latest release, 2.24.3, which is not in the repos yet. I downloaded totem's PKGBUILD, changed the version to 2.24.3 and I'm building it now. I'll let you guys know if it works.

edit - thought I would mention, bluez is a makedepends=() dependency but it's not in the repos. I'm going to remove it because I have bluez-libs installed, I hope it works.

I built it, and the plugin halfway works. Here's the new issue. I double-click on a video, and I get this

I'm getting the search results, but clicking on one gives me the error message "GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error." -- anyone know of a solution? The terminal shows:

$ totem

If you search the web for your error message, you'll find the this is an upstream bug in totem. And please don't bump year old threads.
