Finally, weboob is able to run the both passes in a single call. By
this way, the plugin is able to fetch the expected data in Grilo with
the URL of the media.
Not exactly what totem expect (as it is probably what you called a
one-time url). But while weboob work like this, I have no other idea.

So, I will clean my code and try to propose my changes for
integrations in grilo-plugins.

If someone can point me a good documentation on the role of the grilo
resolve function... it will help me to decide if I have to provide
such function in my plugin, or if I don't.

As a starting point, I'm really interested to know when this function
is supposed to be called.
