-Thanks for using Grilo!
-
-=== What is Grilo? ===
-
-Grilo is a framework for browsing and searching media content from various
-sources using a single API.
-
-=== Where can I find more? ===
-
-We have a wiki page at
-https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Grilo
-
-You can subscribe to our mailing list:
-http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/grilo-list
-
-You can join us on the IRC:
-#grilo on GIMPNet
-
-=== How do I start? ===
-
-Once you have Grilo installed, you may want to play around with the
-examples (See section "Examples") or check its documentation
-and tutorials (See section "Documentation").
-
-Fedora
-
-$ sudo dnf install grilo
-
-ArchLinux
-
-$ sudo pacman -S grilo
-
-Others
-
-Otherwise you have to download Grilo's source code from GNOME's repository and
-build it -don't worry, it takes only a few seconds-, see the section below if
-you want to do that.
-
-=== Building from git ===
-
-$ git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/grilo.git
-$ cd grilo
-$ meson . build
-$ ninja -C build
-$ sudo ninja -C build install
-
-=== Examples ===
-
-If you are looking for some example to play with you can try grilo-test-ui,
-a simple GTK+ based test application for testing purposes. You can find it
-under tools/grilo-test-ui. It allows users to:
-
-1) Browse predefined content categories from browseable sources (like
-"Youtube", "Jamendo" or "UPnP").
-2) Search content by text on searchable sources (like "Youtube", "Jamanedo"
-or "Flickr").
-3) Query sources using source-specific syntax (for sources implementing
-this feature).
-4) Organize and define the source's content hierarchy (for sources
-implementing this feature like "bookmarks" or
-"podcasts").
-5) Check available metadata for the media.
-
-For this application to work you need some Grilo plugins that act as media
-sources, that is, plugins that provide the actual content that you will
-browse and search using the application. You can get a bunch of plugins for
-Grilo from the grilo-plugins package here:
-
-https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/grilo-plugins/
-
-=== Compiling/Running grilo-test-ui ===t clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/grilo.git
-
-$ cd grilo
-$ meson . build
-$ ninja -C build
-$ ./build/tools/grilo-test-ui/grilo-test-ui-0.3

-Enjoy!
