Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

Even in the latest versions, I have yet to see any work done to implement the assrender gstreamer plugin which is already in the repos.

Until this is implemented, ASS subtitles, will continue to be rendered in a rather ugly fashion.

Implementing the plugin will imply that Totem is able to properly parse standalone ASS files and ASS files that are embedded in MKV files. Furthermore, Totem must be able to make use of both system fonts and fonts embedded in MKV files.

This is fixed upstream now and will be fixed in Ubuntu when gstreamer0.10-plugins-base is updated to a version past 0.10.25.

I don't know why you opened a new task for "gst-plugins-bad0.10", but I am sure it doesn#t belong here. Closing.

@ Nicholas: Version 0.10.26 of gst-plugins-base has not been released yet and it will not be updates in karmic.

It will very likely be fixed in Ubuntu 10.04.
