Regression: Subtitles are not loaded when an audio file is opened via the media library.

This issue is in VLC 1.0.1 but was not present in 0.9.9a. I have installed VLC 1.0.1 for Ubuntu using the PPA specified on the VLC site. Here is the procedure to reproduce:-

1. Clear the preferences and media library to start fresh (from ~/.config/vlc and ~/.local/share/vlc)

2. Add an MP3 file and a corresponding CDG file to a folder.

3. Start VLC and open the media library

4. Add the MP3 file to the media library

5. Double click the newly imported entry ** the mp3 file plays along with the graphics **

6. Close VLC and restart it

7. Open the media library and double click the song ** The mp3 file plays but no graphics are displayed **

So basically the graphics/subtitles only work immediately after adding the files to the library. After a restart the graphics/subtitles fail to load.

I have attached the verbose console output and marked in the file where I notice the difference between dragging an mp3 file on to VLC and opening one via the media library.

Added attachment:

• Open via media library.log

Added attachment:

• File dragged on to vlc.log

This bug still exists in 1.0.2 (Supplied with Ubuntu karmic). Note that the graphics do play immediately after adding an mp3 to the media library. But after restarting VLC the graphics do not play when selecting an mp3 from the media library.

Subtitles detection: decode before testing the files.

This calls decode_URI, as does the meta.c file. I hope this is correct, feel free to revert if not.

I have just tested this again using VLC 1.0.4 (on Ubuntu Lucid). Unfortunately it still has exactly the same behavior. Would the previous fix have made it into 1.0.4 ?

Should be fixed in 1.1. Feel free to reopen if not.
