Description Alexander van Loon 2006-05-09 07:39:04 UTC 
Some video files have softsubs, for example Advanced Substation Alpha (ASS). If
you currently play a MKV file in Totem which has an ASS softsub for example, the
subtitle will simply not appear. Please implement support for softsubs, more
info can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubStation_Alpha
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2006-05-09 09:10:37 UTC 
Totem doesn't support those directly, the backend does. Which backend are you using?
Comment 2 Alexander van Loon 2006-05-09 10:18:10 UTC 
GStreamer 0.10.5
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2006-05-09 10:36:36 UTC 
These should be supported, although I might only have tested SSA-in-matroska.

Do you have the 'ssaparse' plugin from gst-plugins-base installed?
You can check with 'gst-inspect-0.10 ssaparse'.

Could you point me to a media file somewhere by any chance? The first few MB might be sufficient as well.
Comment 4 Alexander van Loon 2006-05-09 14:12:54 UTC 
ssaparse was installed, so I decided to check again to make sure that the subtitles didn't work. When I checked this time, they did work. I apologize for my mistake.
