Oliver: Unfortunately I have been unable to follow your branch because it has started using something called 'totem-plparser' which I can't figure out how to add to my debian-unstable installation.
Just to make sure I am not doing something stupid, here is what I did, first when you were at patch-88 and just now with patch-97. I changed directory to rhythmbox--merge--0.9--patch-55 and gave the command: % tla update followed by % make distclean % ./autogen.sh --prefix=<somedir> but it dies on: No package 'totem-plparser' found ... Thanks for any tips.
