Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

All subtitles are displayed as "*** ****** 1234 ** ***". I've tried switching the subtitle font and encoding (UTF-8, CP-1251, KOI8-R and even the old DOS codepage 866 - and still I have these "***".

On the other hand, Kaffeine seems to display the subtitles normally for the same movie files.

The subtitles are built into the movie file I was trying to watch. I have found that a tool called mkvextract (package mkvtoolnix) can be used to extract the subtitles. Unfortunately, this program generates an unhandled exception each time I run it with proper parameters. I haven't found another way to do it on Linux yet.

Here's some info about the movie file:

container: Ogg/OGM
Track ID 0: video (DX50)
Track ID 1: audio (Vorbis)
Track ID 2: audio (Vorbis)
Track ID 3: subtitles (text)
