Duplicate language entries in menu when playing dvds

[Holger Bauer]

Totem-gstreamer displays the same languages twice or three times in sound->languages. How often I see entries for one language differs depending on the inserted dvd.

I use edy and totem-gstreamer 2.16.1-1ubuntu1.
Installed gstreamer packages:
gstreamer0.10-alsa 0.10.9-1ubuntu2
gstreamer0.10-doc 0.10.9-1ubuntu3

Thanks for your bug. Do you have the same issue with totem-xine?

[Holger Bauer (umarmung-planet)]

Yes I see this too with totem-xine.
On a closer look these duplicate entries are different language settings (german, german with comments etc.), which are named the same.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you consider that as a bug of the application then? Does it work with some other player?

[Holger Bauer (umarmung-planet)]

I tested it with gmplayer now. Mplayer gives a bit more information, e.g. german - dolbie 5.1, german - dolbie 5.1 stereo. However it named two different entries the same too. (Tracks that featured comments from two different people.) So mplayer is slightly better, but not perfect. :)

And yes I consider this a bug. Why are the entries named the same when they mean different things. Why do I need to guess, when I want english language with director's comments etc.
I'm curious: Do you think this is not a bug?

Maybe totem could show only the sound entry that matches preferences->audio? For example, when I set audio to stereo, then show only "language dolbie stereo" and hide "language dolbie 5.1".

It should also show that one track has original audio and one has comments etc. Or is it not possible to read this information from dvd?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

That could probably be done better, to forward upstream they know the code better

[Holger Bauer (umarmung-planet)]

I opened a bugreport upstream.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for forwarding that upstream
