The problem is not totem. 

The root cause is the unmaintained gnome-dvb-daemon. This issue is caused because 
'python' is specified in the plugin file instead of 'python3'.

This unmaintained plugin (project is archived upstream) depends on deprecated python 2 which is no longer shipped with Mageia.

So gnome-dvb-deamon needs to be obsoleted.
Upstream achived project: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-dvb-daemon

This plugin also fails under openSUSE Leap 15.4 whith the same error which confirms that this plugin is dead and incompatible with modern distributions (python3).

Thanks for your research.
Should we add this to the packages to be dropped?
Does the totem packaging need adapting?

CC: (none) => lewyssmith

Totem doesn’t need any adaption, as gnome-dvb-daemon only shows up as available plugin in totem, if you have it installed.

I would place gnome-dvb-daemon on the obsolete tracker bug…but thats not my decission. I did only the basic research which should have already be done by Kristoffer

So what can one use to get Totem to play Youtube streams then?

First you need to understand the difference between a youtube stream and gnome-dvb-daemon. You opened a bugreport wirh completely mixed topics. The title (python) and the error message is related to the deprecated gnome-dvb-daemon.
Can you explain why you believe that you need a dvb plugin for a youtube stream? Can you explain where you see an error message regarding youtube in your log?

I did my research and found that the python message is caused by deprecated gnome-dvb-daemon which is NOT needed to watch a youtoub stream.

You could have found yourself what this plugin was intended for. It is not youtube…

Assigning this to the Gnome people to decide about obsoleting:
 gnome-dvb-deamon
When that is done, please close this bug Invalid.

If i understand well, it must works out of the box, only needs grilo-plugins what is required by totem. Its possible you need some gstreamer packages-

Personally i like more smplayer

Ping! Any news regarding this?

Totem does not play youtube streams. All tested distributions error out with:
Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|text/html-Decoder|decoder-text/html (text/html-Decoder)

I tested with:

openSUSE Leap 15.4
Fedora 38
MGA8
MGA9

All distributions had up-to-date grilo plugins, totem-pl-parser and gstreamer sets (base, bad, ugly, good, ...) enabled.

So not a Mageia problem but an upstream one. Please report upstream. Closing INVALID.

See also comment 10 for alternative players.

Resolution: (none) => INVALID
Status: NEW => RESOLVED

The article you found is for an acient Ubuntu version from 2014. Totem looks different 9 years later. There is something broken seriously upstream as also under Leap and Fedora totem can no longer play youtube streams...

I see grilo-plugins-0.3.15-3.mga9. not include libgrlyoutube.so and grilo-plugins-0.3.12-2.mga8 yes, its intentional or make other report?

On Cauldron to have again the plugin libgrlyoutube.so upstream should port libgdata to libsoup3.
This is why it is missing now.
