I can confirm this bug in 0.8.6.release.c-0ubuntu5. But in my case it happens even if the media file and the .txt file have different names, but only if the media file
If I have a media file and a .txt file in the same folder, I get a dialog box stating: The following errors occured. More details might be available in the Messages window. Unrecognized format for '/path/to/file/name_of_file.txt' If I have a file "media.wma" and a file "text.txt" in a folder, and I play the media file in vlc, no errors. However, if I give the file a non-ACSII name, for example, "안녕하세요.wma", then I get errors. I also get the same errors that K8BeBop gets if I rename the media file to match the text file. Here is the output in the terminal: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ ls media.wma text.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ vlc media.wma VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus [00000281] main playlist: stopping playback [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ mv media.wma 안녕하세요.wma [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ vlc 안녕하세요.wma VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus [00000306] subtitle demuxer error: failed to recognize subtitle type [00000290] main input error: no suitable demux module for `/subtitle:///home/andrew/test/text.txt' [00000281] main playlist: stopping playback [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ mv 안녕하세요.wma text.wma [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ vlc text.wma VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus [00000306] subtitle demuxer error: failed to recognize subtitle type [00000290] main input error: no suitable demux module for `/subtitle:///home/andrew/test/text.txt' [00000281] main playlist: stopping playback [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ -- If trying to open file, it tries to open other files with same name but a txt extension https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123291 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
