Description Tim-Philipp Müller 2013-03-16 14:54:57 UTC 
See bug #690911.

If there are subtitles, they should probably not be enabled by default unless there is some signalling from the demuxer/file that they should be enabled.


Step 1: playbin should default to subtitles=off
=============================
As it says. Should be trivial to implement.



Step 2: let demuxers signal which streams are the default
===================================

We then need to figure out some signalling so that demuxers can tell playbin if one of the streams is the 'default' stream, and if so which. Could be done via by adding a flags argument to the stream-start event. See attachement 232879 of bug #600648 for a tentative patch.

Any progress on this?
Comment 3 Olav Vitters 2016-01-25 09:48:38 UTC 
Ping? Any progress on this? I'm running into this quite a lot while using Totem. Makes it quite annoying to use. If indeed trivial, it would be really nice to have this.
Comment 4 Edward Hervey 2018-05-12 06:41:26 UTC 
Still valid, should be tackled with the new streams API.
