Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

The subtitle plugin in Totem cannot contact the opensubtitles.org's database anymore, since the URL 'www.opensubtitles.org' isn't valid anymore for API calls. It apparently has changed to http://api.opensubtitles.org. The URL of the server for API calls is hard coded in opensubtitles.py, around line 319. After I changed 'www' into 'api', the opensubtitles.org database could be contacted again. I've attached a patch that shows the small change I've made.

You're welcome. I accidentally got the patch reversed and have corrected this in the upstream bug report. For completeness, I'm attaching the correct patch here as well.

This should be fixed in Ubuntu 10.04 now. PhobosK, the fix has also been committed to the stable branch 2.28 (http://git.gnome.org/browse/totem/log/?h=gnome-2-28), so when 2.28.5 will be released it could be proposed as a stable release update for Ubuntu 9.10.
