Hi all,
This happened within a day or two and I don't know where else to turn
to. For some reason vlc is not displaying the subtitles right and I'm
all getting are rectangles.
Running vlc in the CLI I get this :-
$ vlc
VLC media player 1.1.13 The Luggage (revision exported)
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_BUS_TYPE")

'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

Try manually setting a character-encoding before you open the file.

The version I have of vlc is from debian-multimedia :-
$ apt-show-versions -a vlc
vlc 1:1.1.13-0.0 install ok installed
vlc 1.1.3-1squeeze6 stable ftp.debian.org
vlc 1.1.13-1+b1 testing ftp.debian.org
vlc 1.1.13-1+b1 unstable ftp.debian.org
vlc 1:1.1.13-0.0 sid www.debian-multimedia.org
vlc/sid uptodate 1:1.1.13-0.0
I did a google search of the above errors and came across this :-

Well, what to say I can see it in dragon player, in leafpad (my
preferred text-editor) can see the same in dragon. Movie Player does
not show the subtitles but then it doesn't show at all (not even the
subtitles) so can't complain really. I do get the error however
something like :-
(totem:5099): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: value "10752000" of type
`guint' is invalid or out of range for property `connection-speed' of
type `guint'
while with dragon (KDE stuff) I get it without any issues :-
$ dragon
Connecting to deprecated signal
QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString)
kbuildsycoca4 running...
dragonplayer(5310)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction
"aspect_ratio_menu" with KXMLGUIFactory!
dragonplayer(5310)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction
"audio_channels_menu" with KXMLGUIFactory!
dragonplayer(5310)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction
"subtitle_channels_menu" with KXMLGUIFactory!
please lemme know what could have changed,broken or anything I could
help to find out more.
