Possibly, but it shouldn't read subtitles at all without already running a media file, but rather just skip them. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584692 Title: GstDecodeBin2: This appears to be a text file Status in Totem Movie Player: New Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: totem I often play music albums by opening the directory they are in in Totem, I even have that set as an open-with action. Yes, there is Rhythmbox, but I do play albums this way over SSH from servers etc, as well as I like this way of playing music now. :) If there is an unknown text file in the same directory, it gets added to the playlist anyway, AND totem will stop playback on this file with the error "GstDecodeBin2: This appears to be a text file". Highly annoying when you have to get up and go to the computer just to click the warning away and delete this entry from the playlist manually. Images, for instance, gets ignored and are not added in this way. I propose that either: 1. Unknown text files should not be added to the playlist, or, if that's hard to do: 2. Such files should just be silently skipped when playing $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 $ aptitude show totem Package: totem Version: 2.30.2-0ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/totem/+bug/584692/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
