Public bug reported:

Ubuntu release 13.04, 
gnome-mplayer version 1.0.8-1 (http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ 
raring/universe amd64 Packages)

When watching a video and quitting gnome-mplayer, the next time you open
the video it asks you if you want to resume it from the same position.
For example, if you watch a video for the first 30 seconds and quit, the
next time you open the file with gnome-mplayer it puts up a pop-up
asking "Resume playback of <file> at 0:30" pressing yes, nothing
happens.

How this works is that gnome-mplayer passes the position of the video to
mplayer with the -ss command line argument. The problem is, with
LC_NUMERIC set to for example fi_FI.UTF-8 , instead of . is used as a
decimal separator, so what happens is:

GMLIB-Message: ERROR: Option ss: invalid time: '30,000000'
GMLIB-Message: MPlayer2 UNKNOWN (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team
GMLIB-Message: ERROR: Error parsing commandline option "-ss": Option parameter 
could not be parsed

if you change the LC_NUMERIC to en_US.UTF-8 for example, it uses . as a
separator and everything works as it is supposed to.
