Trouble with subtitles and "Start playing files from last position"

[Brewster Malevich]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

This is not a bug in the program's function, but rather an odd way for it to function:
>I have "Start playing files from last position" checked in the Preferences menu.

>I load a video file with subtitles and let it play for some time, then close Rhythmbox.

>Double-clicking the same file again will start the video file playback as expected, but without subtitles.

>Loading the subtitles causes the file to restart playback from the beginning of the file.

So, this would defeat the purpose of having my file start from the last played position. I think this could be more user friendly in a few possible ways:
1) have subtitle files load automatically when "Start playing files from last position" is selected.
2) when loading subtitles, have the film resume from its original position, rather than restarting the file.

Ugg- my bad. Sorry about that. :-)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test a current Ubuntu 10.10. If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could let us know by comment below.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!
