grilo itself is a hard dependency, and grilo-plugins will need an MIR, since nothing will work without that. tracker use itself could be made
to fall back to grl-filesystem , but it needs gsettings config "org.gnome.Totem filesystem-paths" probably set to users home directory.
> - Haven't seen this myself because my system is trackerified, but we'll need to think about the initial UI in that case. grl-filesystem? too slow? Is there an 'empty' UI which helps you add local media using a file chooser?
The video tab that is shown at startup will show media from tracker, optical media and bookmarks ( set via "add local video" dialog). In my
quick hack to make this use grl-filesystem, it will show media from the filesystem-paths key above, but this is not recursive.
Bookmarks don't currently get thumbnails, but there are git patches to fix that.
