Bug Description
Binary package hint: mplayer
Since I upgraded to lucid beta, mplayer does not display Hebrew subtitles correctly.
Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04
mplayer:
Installed: 2:1.0~rc3+
Candidate: 2:1.0~rc3+
Version table:
*** 2:1.0~rc3+
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
What is expected to happen: Hebrew (and other RTL languages, such as Arabic) subtitles are displayed correctly. This worked correctly in previous Ubuntu releases.
What happened instead: Hebrew subtitles are shown in reverse. If I try to force the use of fribidi I get the error:
> mplayer -flip-hebrew file.avi
MPlayer was compiled without FriBiDi support.
MPlayer SVN-r1.

this is because of a change in fribidi (0.19.2-1), which was included
into lucid on 2010-02-22:
* Removed fribidi-config.1 since fribidi-config is removed from
upstream.
I've checked mplayer trunk; there the same problem exists: configure
tries to use fribidi-config (which is not present) and fails to detect
the availability of fribidi.
until this if fixed, I'm going to remove the fribidi build dependency on
mplayer
