Description Paul Best 2007-01-03 07:05:57 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Playback ceases when disabling subtitles with the gstreamer backend. The video can be resumed after the playback has stopped by rewinding the video to a previous point. However playback will cease again at the same spot as it did before, and attempting to enable the same or a different subtitle set will fail to have any effect. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Play Matroska video file with subtitles 
2. Select 'view->subtitles->none'
3. Playback will stop

4. When video playback stops, press pause and rewind the video.

5. Playback will stop at approximately the same point as it did before.

6. Attempting to re-enable subtitles will have no visible effect.

Actual results:
Video playback will cease after one or two more subtitles are displayed.

Expected results:
Video playback should continue with the subtitles no longer displayed, and should allow subtitles to be enabled and disabled freely during playback.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
It is possible to reproduce this with this sample file provided on the Matroska web site:

This works fine (with that very sample) with a recent GStreamer. Can you still reproduce the problem?
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2008-08-29 12:28:21 UTC 
The disabling/re-enabling should work these days (since gst-plugins-base 0.10.16).

(Switching between different tracks still requires a seek, but there are other bugs for that)
