Since the YouTube plugin is just an optional feature, libgdata is in optdepends.

pacman -Si totem

is already an optional dependency
Comment by Niklas Gottschalk (das_coach) - Thursday, 16 September 2010, 21:35 GMT
but the plugin is available even without installing libgdata, that's the point=)

i don't understand your bug. You want that plugin to not be listed in the plugin list if libgdata is not present?

submit it upstream, is not our problem

Since Arch Linux ships the totem player and its plugins as one package, maybe Niklas was expecting the plugins to work OOTB.

yeps=) but ok, i don't think it's an upstream bug due to the fact that it's regarding to deps. if that's part of the arch way, i can live with that=)

(btw, arch rocks, coming from gentoo)

note that pacman output is important, especially optional dependencies if you want to extent the functionality.

the output is there to be read not to be ignored :D
