Description Sven Arvidsson 2012-01-22 22:15:07 UTC
If I disable a loaded subtitle by choosing "None" Totem immediately hangs. Audio is still playing, but the GUI is unresponsive and doesn't redraw. 

This seems to happen regardless of movie or subtitle format, it affects both built-in subs (like mkv) and external ones.

I found a couple of scattered reports about the same problem, but no proper bug filed (though I might have missed it):
http://askubuntu.com/questions/56994/totem-becomes-unresponsive-when-i-try-to-turn-off-subtitles
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731726

I'm using Totem 3.2.1 and GStreamer 0.10.35.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it.
Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

I confirm this bug with embeded subtitle in mp4. As soon as you disable subtitle, video is frozen and GUI is unresponsive.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2012-05-24 17:56:14 UTC
zebul666: Please always provide version and distro information.
Comment 5 zebul666 2012-05-24 23:54:29 UTC
archlinux current x86_64. Was happening too on 32 bits a few weeks ago.
Comment 6 Pooky 2012-07-08 07:59:39 UTC
I can confirm too Ubuntu 12.04_64bit Totem 3.0.1 totem freeze when disable or switch embed subtitle.
Comment 7 André Klapper 2012-07-08 19:01:42 UTC
Sorry, but 3.0 is pretty ancient and not supported in upstream anymore.
3.4 or 3.5 would be more interesting. :)

Damit I know, bat I can't compile any more recent version. I already report it as a bug and I hope after it I can try latest version.
Comment 9 zebul666 2012-07-08 21:40:16 UTC
@André Klapper: Don't worry the bug was still in 3.4.2 and I guess is still in 3.4.3
Comment 10 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-07-08 21:51:03 UTC
What version of playbin2?  (gst-inspect-0.10 playbin2 | grep Version)

I thought this one had actually been fixed a while back.
Comment 11 Pooky 2012-07-12 19:36:15 UTC
I just compile last version 3.4.3 and this problem is gone. Now subtitle disable works fine.
Comment 12 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-07-12 19:41:38 UTC
Thanks for confirming!
Comment 13 Pooky 2012-07-12 19:47:38 UTC
I must negate my last comment.

Subtitles disable work fine ONLY when it's embed in video container (like matroska)
If subtitles are file in local disk, disable makes totem freeze.
Comment 14 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-07-12 19:54:15 UTC
Alright, thanks, let me re-open this then. Needs re-checking with git (master + 0.10), since there have been a few fixes in that area.
Comment 15 Jürg Billeter 2012-10-27 09:32:50 UTC
I'm seeing this with Totem 3.6.2 and GStreamer 1.0.2 and mkv-internal subtitles.
Comment 16 Pooky 2012-11-01 21:49:00 UTC
Any plans to fix this in future? It's really annoying...
Comment 17 Jürg Billeter 2012-11-02 06:22:06 UTC
A workaround is to set the subtitle font size to 0 in org.gnome.Totem.subtitle-font in dconf. However, that's obviously not very convenient if you'd like to disable subtitles only in some videos.
Comment 18 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2012-12-13 13:00:45 UTC
I also see this in debian's experimental gst 1.0.3 and totem 3.6.3
Comment 19 jamie 2013-02-14 06:48:54 UTC
Ubuntu64 12.04
GStreamer 0.10.36
Totem 3.0.1

Totem freezes when internal mkv subtitles deselected. For me this happens when the matroska file is incomplete, ie playing a file while it is downloading. If the matroska file contains a complete index then no freeze.
Comment 20 André Klapper 2013-02-15 10:45:58 UTC
jamie: We don't care about 2 year old software (Totem 3.0.1), sorry. 
This report is about recent Totem and GStreamer versions.

Comment 22 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2013-08-16 10:41:21 UTC
Works fine here with totem and latest git master of GStreamer.
Comment 23 Dominique Leuenberger 2013-10-01 22:30:56 UTC
Sebastian,

What versions does 'latest git master' and 'totem' refer to?

Well it hangs for me on git master, though this bug is a duplicate of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683504 and related to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700635
