Comment 5 for bug 136608

[Does it happen with any movie?]
 Yes: DVD, and *.avi (XviD and Divix as well). I haven't tested other
formats.

To make clear: I have installed on Gusty Gibbon Tribe 5 the following Totem
libraries (all 2.19.90-0 ubuntu3):

1. libtotem-plparser7
Totem Playlist Parser library - runtime version;
2. totem
A simple media player for the Gnome desktop (dummy package)
3. totem-gstreamer
A simple media player for the Gnome desktop based on gstreamer
4. totem-mozilla
Totem Mozilla plugin

[Do you get the issue using totem-xine?]

When I installed totem-xine to test it for You and tried to open a movie the
warning appeared: "Totem could not play 'file:/// (a full path to the movie
with title)'. Video codec XviD is not handled. You might need to install
additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies"

Totem could not play 'file:///(a full path to the movie with title)'. Video
codec'Microsoft MPEG-4 v3' is not handled. You might need to install
additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies.

Totem could not play 'dvd:/'.
There is no plugin to handle this movie.

And so on.

[Do you have an url where we could download an example of video triggering
the bug?]

You can download any *.avi movie for example from a Polish torrent site
(there are often proper subtitles attached). If there is no subtitles
attached with the movie You can look for Polish or other Slavic/Central
European encoded subtitles in the Internet. If You have any trouble with
finding subtitles, please give me a title of movie with all comments
attached (for example: XviD-Junky7&SEED-team) and I'll try to find
appropriate subtitles for You.

BTW: I've discovered a few other bugs when it comes to subtitles in Totem:

1. Totem doesn't load (recognize) the text files with the subtitles when
names of the *.avi file and the *.txt file are different. (SMPlayer doesn't
as well but in SMPlayer you can add subtitle manually. In Totem manual
selection of the subtitle file fails. It doesn't recognize the subtitle file
via subtitles menu. You can add it to playlist but if you drag and drop it
onto screen the warning appears: "An error occurred. GstPlayBin: Only a
subtitle stream was detected. Either you are loading a subtitle file or some
other type of text file, or the media file was not recognized."

2. When in the same folder are: *.avi file, *.txt file and *.sub file Totem
doesn't load ANY file with the subtitles despite the movie is played
(SMPlayer plays a movie with subtitles in such situations).

3. I was trying to play a DVD movie x(title) via Totem/Movie/Play Disc x,
but I didn't succeed. ("Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because
you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it. Please install the
necessary plugins and restart Totem to be able to play this media".) I must
admit that if you just put a DVD movie into your DVD - rom it is played
automatically with Totem.

There are at least 4 additional bugs taking into consideration the bug with
installing Totem-xine mentioned above. I don't really know which of the bugs
are caused by Totem itself and which are typical for this alpha release of
Ubuntu Gusty. The three bugs were discovered before installing totem-xine.

Could You be so kind and put the mentioned bugs in the right place to be
found by Developers as they could fix them before final version of the Totem
(GNOME) and the Ubuntu projects are out?

Thanks a lot!
