Description Olav Vitters 2015-06-24 20:01:36 UTC 
Some .mkv files have one or more subtitles in them. Totem always loads those. I don't want to see any subtitles. Could it be changed to default to none? It usually loads the English while my LANG is already set to English.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2015-06-26 07:54:44 UTC 
Totem (through GStreamer) loads whatever the default subtitle is in the MKV file.
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2015-06-26 12:24:51 UTC 
This seems like a policy application for the application to me.
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2015-06-26 12:25:11 UTC 
*policy decision
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2015-06-26 12:32:05 UTC 
We don't change whatever the default is from playbin.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2015-06-26 12:32:46 UTC 
(at that point I would expect somebody to know the magic mkvtools command to list the subtitle tracks, and see which one is listed as the default so Olav can test it ;)
Comment 6 Nicolas Dufresne (ndufresne) 2015-06-26 13:42:02 UTC 
I believe there is no magic, the default is just the first one in the list. Gst will pick one by default if the text flag is set. Though, playin as all API to implement policy.

Why do you think this is a GStreamer bug ?
Comment 7 Tim-Philipp Müller 2015-06-26 13:56:53 UTC 
I think the GStreamer part of this is covered by bug #690911.

Whether to show subtitles by default or not if there are any is still up to the application though, it can choose not to do that even if the file signals some default subtitle track.
