Totem Download Movie Subtitles hangs on loading the subtitles

[mambro]

Ubuntu version: 11.10
Totem version: 3.0.1-0ubuntu5

Step to reproduce:

1) Active the plugin "Subtitle Downloader"
2) Open a movie with totem
3) View > Subtitles > Download movie Subtitles
4) Select one from the list
5) Totem hangs

On the console the error is
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/totem/plugins/opensubtitles/opensubtitles.py", line 570, in os_save_subtitles
    subFile = fp.replace('', False)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/types.py", line 43, in function
    return info.invoke(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: replace() takes exactly 5 arguments (3 given)

I attach a patch to solve the problem (to apply to /usr/lib/totem/plugins/opensubtitles/opensubtitles.py)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

the patch file works, i did this "patch -p0 -i opensubtitles.patch" (dont know wht the p0 means) in the terminal with my .patch in /usr/lib/totem/plugins/opensubtitles/opensubtitles.py

You can also open the patch and make the changes manually to the file /usr/lib/totem/plugins/opensubtitles/opensubtitles.py. It's a very trivial change :)

Tnx, patch works!
Now to get this into the releases.

I can confirm this bug on Oneiric x64.
Additionally I merged the duplicate bug-report into this one and added the patch tag, hopefully to get more attention, and to get the patch into the release.

This was already fixed for 12.04 with the patch for bug 883694. All that needs to be done is for that fix to be released as an SRU for Ubuntu 11.10.
