I'm having this same issue. But I've noticed that the problem is not when opening from nautilus, but when opening a movie with a subtitle AND having "auto load subtitles" option set.
Disabling this option make it work like a charm. And loading the subs after the movie is loaded also works. Any think that I can provide that might be of some help? -- Totem hang when lauching from nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/452865 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
