It's not possible to activate the Subtitle Downloader Plugin in Oneiric

[Christoph Langner]

When I try to enable the subtitle downloader plugin i get the error message "the plugin untertitel-downloader could not be loaded. an error occured: failed to load". Inside an terminal I get the following messages.

$ totem somemovie.avi

Yes I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 last night, and I just discovered that the Totem subtitle downloader plugin doesn't work. I i get the error message "the plugin subtitle-downloader could not be loaded. an error occured: failed to load".

This also happens to me in with i386 architecture and in PT_pt language in ubuntu 11.10. It reports exactly the same error.
