Subtitles disappear after seeking in video
Last modified: 2010-03-02 15:09:33 UTC
Overview: After seeking in video with slider, text subtitles selected to play with video stop to appear for about 20-30 seconds or disappear at all. This problem seems to exist since Totem have got text subtitles support, but before 2.28 version subtitles were never disappearing at all, only for 20-30 seconds. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Start video in Totem. 2) Load subtitles any way available in Totem. 3) Seek in video with "Time" slider belov video display. Actual Results: Subtitles stop to be displayed. Sometimes it is for 20-30 seconds, sometimes at all - I don't know, on what it depends. Expected Results: Subtitles appear in movie, with correct timing. Additional Information: I currently use Fedora 12 x86_64, and Totem package is "totem-2.28.4-1", however problem described was present on any Linux distrubution I was using for several years.
I also observe this with all videos, no matter what the format is. Could also be a gstreamer issue. How can I help to debug this? The easiest test case is to take any 10 minute clip, open it in Gaupol and add a subtitle every 10 seconds containing the timer. Sometimes the subtitles disappear completely after seeking, sometimes wrong subtitles appear as if they were based on some internal timer that is not updated during seeking instead of the current position.
It's most certainly got nothing to do with Totem at all. Start by mentioning all your versions of GStreamer and Totem used, and gather a debug log as per the web page: http://projects.gnome.org/totem/#bugs

This is a problem with GStreamer. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 600648 ***
