GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 329327
Totem does not support loading subtitles from the GUI
Last modified: 2006-01-31 14:18:41 UTC
Currently, Totem only supports loading subtitles from the command-line (in the videoURL#subtitle:subURI form), which kind of defeats the purpose of it being a Desktop application. Also, in 1.3.x at least, this only seems to work with the xine-lib backend. I think Julien has started working on fixing the subtitle displaying with the gstreamer 0.10.x backend, but I would really like to see a graphical way to load subtitles in Totem. Either : - By having a menu entry to "Load subtitle file", or something like that, which then requires a way of disabling them too (this is what gmplayer dodes). - By having a part of the playlist where to add/remove and enable/disable subtitles. - ... other ideas? Additionnaly, if it was possible to load and activate a subtitle file for the currently playing video by simply dragging and dropping it, that would be simply great (but currently, any file drag and dropped replaces the current playlist, and Totem tries to play it).
