[Bug 89302] Codec auto-download not working when movie has external subtitles

[Kamil Páral]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem-gstreamer

Ubuntu 7.04 daily build (2nd Mar 2007)

When doubleclicking on some movie with proprietary codecs, a dialog with
auto-download codec feature appears. When doubleclicking on the same
movie, but with external subtitles present (named eg. movie_name.srt),
only this error dialog appears:

An error occurred
GstPlayBin: Only a subtitle stream was detected. Either you are loading a subtitle file or some other type of text file, or the media file was not recognized.

This is a bug, totem should ignore the subtitles and offer to the user
the same possibility to auto-download codecs, as it does with movies
without subtitles. Because (at least at my country) most of all movies
comes with subtitles, this renders the whole auto-download-codec feature
only half-working...
