Bug Description

When opening a Xvid avi file the Player suggest shearching for a codec that is missing to play the file, fails to find it, and... PLAYS the file without a proplet. Same this every time I open it.

And here is the really buggy part. I use the automatic subtitle download feature. It reopens the file with subtitles. And there is no sound. So I close it down, openg again. There no subtitles. So I get either sound or subtitles . I would love to have both. And I love this player

I also had this bug - when I open a video file (like an avi or flv or mp4). However I found a solution on the ubuntu forums - I ran the following commands:

rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/*
This removed the Gstreamer settings for the current user.

I then installed Gstreamer-Tools (check in synaptic to see if you already have it, if not install it - or run "sudo apt-get install gstreamer-tools" without quote marks).

and then ran the gstreamer-tools command:
gst-inspect
to rebuild the gstreamer settings.

This fixed playing the video layer for all these formats!

I hope you find this useful.

Matt
