Public bug reported: Normally vlc will try to load subtitle automatically,for example,if you put example.avi and example.srt in the same directory,and you double click on example.avi,and example.srt will be loaded.
But vlc will regard the file path as a URL,and encoded it(you can find some details in RFC 1738). For example,if you have a file /home/yegle/[example].avi ,and you have a correspond subtitle file called [example].srt.You double click on [example].avi and you will find /home/yegle/%5Bexample%5D.avi will be displayed at the bottom of the vlc window,and [example].srt wasn't loaded. At first I think this is because vlc cannot deal with non-ascii characters,but later I find when I drag and drop [example].avi to vlc window,the subtitle loaded just fine.So this bug will happen when you double click on a file contains non-ascii characters. sorry for my poor English. :-) ** Affects: vlc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- vlc regard the file path as a URL,so the subtitle won't be loaded automatically https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190188 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
