Sebastien, Could you ask upstream if there is any other reason for not loading subtitles for a file ending with .txt, please ? This very behavior, loading .txt as well as .srt subtiltes, is implemented by some other players such as mplayer and xine (and as far as I know a couple of standalone DVD/DivX players also).
I'm a little bit confused by the upstream statement that they will not use .txt since it's hard to tell if it is a subtitle file or not. There are a couple of subtitle standards anyway, so one way or the other upon upening a subtitle file there has to be an algorithm implemented which detects the subtitle standard and read it. So what's wrong with trying both .srt and .txt files then? I can't see any explanation. -- Totem don't auto load .txt subtitles https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448900 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
