Bug Description

Binary package hint: mplayer

mplayer appears to select the default audio language from somewhere other than the language setting. I have my language set to English (UK) and time zone to Zurich: mplayer starts playing DVDs in German. However, changing time zone to Paris doesn't cause them to start in French: still German. Fully updated Feisty. I have not tested this with other multi-language formats.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 RC or later?

I haven't got around to moving to Intrepid yet. I think this happened on a Swiss rental DVD where the "first" language was German and the DVD also had English (which was my language setting). My guess was that it was simply selecting the first language. I will have to try renting again after moving to one of the RCs.

You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? You can get a Live CD at:
