I've backported the patch and tested it, but there's an additional problem now. 
Totem switch to python3 plugins, but the dvb plugin is python2, so it won't load.

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739742

If nobody fixes this soon with a minimal patch, we'll probably have to remove 
the totem dvb plugin.
