After some new experiences and a better understanding of Grilo, I'm
able to understand this comment.

In fact, weboob (currently) does not provide the URL to the web page
hosting the media (external-url in grilo?): it just provides the
direct URL to the media.

If it is an acceptable evolution to Totem, I can try to add an
optional URL resolution when it is not provided in the first
round-trip (browse, search).
What do you think about that?
Would you be OK to apply such patch into Totem?
