can't load subtitles

[Juraj Lukac]

Hi,
I cannot open subtitles in xine (haven't tried with gxine). When I try to open subtitle file via Open->Subtitle-> select a subtitle file -> click on Select , the "Open Subtitle" windows stays open and nothing more happens. I can then only close xine vie right cklick on xine at the gnome panel and click Close.
I tried to load .txt and .sub subtitle file and both the same result. While the Open Subtitle window was stuck and the xine was unable to cotrol, the movie was still played in the movie window.
I tried these steps several time and allways the same result. At the end I was successfull with another movie and .srt subtitle file - the .srt subtitle file was loaded correctly.

Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the development branch of Ubuntu, Hardy Heron?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have tried it again with the same result on both ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04.

Hi there
I've just try this under Hardy Heron, and works just fine, could you please try again with a new user account?

Thanks in advance.

subtitles don't work now on my ubuntu hardy. even the new daily image of 15 April, i've installed and subtitles nothing.

OK, I'll try it.

The subtitle on "Movie Player" (Totem) is not loading too. I've tried with a .srt file with the same name as the .avi file e the subtitles doesn't appears.
Put my .srt file as an attach.

Since it's been a very long time since any additional info was added to this bug, I'm just checking to see if this is still an issue, and find out what additional work should be done on this bug.

[Juraj Lukac (hrasko)]

I have upgraded to 8.10 som I can try if the problem persists.

[Juraj Lukac (hrasko)]

I confirm this is still an issue in Ubuntu 8.10.

Since this report have a long time without activity, could you check (if is possible) in latest version included in Karmic if this issue is still happening? Thanks in advance.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

Hi,

are you guys crazy? This goes round and round the same way:

Ubuntu: Is there still a bug?
Me: Yes, there is still a bug.
Ubuntu: Is there still a bug?
Me: Yes, there is still a bug.
Ubuntu: Is there still a bug?
Me: Yes, there is still a bug.
...

I just don't care about this bug anymore, if I need to load a bubtitle file I use another player.

Good luck to you:)

[Expired for xine-ui (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

This is still present in Ubuntu 10.10. xine-ui version: 0.99.6-1

Same problem here. Xine freezes when opening srt files, however it works when using command line mrl to load .srt with movie file.

$ lsb_release -drc
> Description: Ubuntu 11.04
> Release: 11.04
> Codename: natty

$ xine -v
> This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.6.
> (c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.

When i load "subtitles.srt" with movie file using following cmd it just works without any problems:
$ xine movie.mkv::subtitles.srt

Xine UI freezes only when trying to select (load) subtitles using menus "Open -> Subtitles...":

$ xine movie.mkv
Right click -> "open" -> "subtitles..." -> select file and then press "select" -> ui freezes.
