2009-07-14 14:42:41 6205 description Currently is Totem Gstreamer able display ASS subtitles only under one codition, if they are muxed inside matroska (MKV) container.. At first sight, this could be Gstreamer issue, but it is not. Gstreamer plugins have already some time proper ASS/SSA subtitle support, but Totem movie player did not somehow keep up with gstreamer development and therefore it may be frustrating or confusing for many users which will not able view ASS subtitles even if they would be told that they are supported. Try it for yourself... Take any video file, for example some anime and make sure that MKV file contains only video and audio track. Put into the same folder ASS subtitle for this video file, named like the *.mkv video itself and Totem will not able to display those subtitles, even if you give from menu view/load subtitles. Bud if you re-mux this file in MKV toolnix adding to that file (drag-n-drop) that ASS subtitle file, abraka-dabra, Totem will display that subtitle without a problem. This should be fixed in Totem movie player asap to be fully Gstreamer compatible and not only under certain ways. It will also make Totem to be again allmost perfect movie player for ubuntu without a need to install VLC or Mplayer... attachment files: 1./ Totem ignoring ASS subtitle file, when it's stored outside as separate file 2./ Totem displaying ASS subtitle file, when i have muxed that file inside matroska container Currently is Totem Gstreamer able display ASS subtitles only under one codition, if they are muxed inside matroska (MKV) container..
