Use grilo for additional sources

Grilo: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Grilo

For use in mopidy, grilo would allow:

• YouTube and Vimeo support (for music videos)
• ability to write small Lua scripts for additional sources (such as websites)

It's accessible from Python using gobject-introspection.

I forgot that it also does UPnP, DAAP, Magnatune, Jamendo, Shoutcast, etc.

Sounds like an interesting candidate for a future extension. Though as of yet we can't use gobject-introspection as we are still using the gstreamer 0.10 bindings which aren't compatible with pygi (#225).

A quick look at https://developer.gnome.org/grilo/unstable/ch03.html#programming-with-grilo-concepts seems to indicated that we've landed on quite similar concepts so mapping it to mopidy should be fairly simple for however takes the time to implement such an extension.

This would go into a extension outside of mopidy itself. And we typically have a policy of closing bugs for extension ideas like this as they are not something that we will fix in mopidy itself.

That being said, I do hope someone takes the time to create such a plugin as this sounds like it could get us support for a lot of new sources without having to write a Mopidy extension for each of them explicitly.
