Description Emmanuel Touzery 2006-05-15 06:44:11 UTC
Please describe the problem:
using totem-xine in dapper up-to-date.
when inserting a videoCD in the computer, i get a message from totem:

"Totem could not play 'vcd:///media/cdrom1' There is no input plugin to
handle the location of this movie"

Later if I do "Movie->Play Disc <disc name>", I get a different message:

"Totem could not play this media (Video CD) although a plugin is present to
handle it.
You might want to check that a disc is present in the drive and that it is
correctly configured."

If I start xine and click "VCD", the videoCD plays fine. Since I'm using
totem-xine, totem should work too.

when starting totem from the command line and clicking "movie->play disc
<disc name>", the following is displayed on the terminal:

** (totem:5965): CRITICAL **: bacon_video_widget_open_with_subtitle:
assertion `bvw->priv->mrl == NULL' failed

that could be the reason for the problem maybe. There are really
subtitles on that videoCD.

I first reported that bug in ubuntu's bug tracker: https://launchpad.net/bugs/44730

Does this happen every time?

I fixed the detection in totem CVS HEAD, but xine-lib's VCD support is broken beyond belief. Please file a bug against xine-lib if the totem CVS HEAD version crashes.

The last bit of code to enable that was:
