Fixed upstream, will be in the next build.

Reopening.

I have:
totem-2.26.2-1.fc11.x86_64

The line you mention in your patch is here. Now I have the following stacktrace:
Traceback (most recent call last):

reproducible on i586 with following version of totem.
totem-2.26.2-1.fc11.i586

Totem doesn't hang for me but it says "Could not contact opensubtitles.org" always. For me at least, it has never managed to contact the opensubtitles site yet.

I think that's not the same issue.

Got to opensubtitles.org with your web browser, you'll see that it is almost always overloaded, you get a lot of 50x HTTP errors,...

So you have to try a lot before Totem actually connects to opensubtitles.org and finds the subtitle. Even once it found it, you can still get the same HTTP errors when trying to download it.

This issue is in opensubtitles.org, but it reflects poorly on Totem (and Totem makes it worse when it actually fails with the above stacktrace :)

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

This still happens with 2.26.3:

I just tried totem-2.28.2-2.fc12.x86_64 on F-12 prerelase and it seems to work fine.

I can confirm this is fixed in totem-2.28.2-2.fc12.i686 on F12.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Ironic, even after 10 releases, the rawhide's totem/videos still won't download subtitles. (not even open the subtitle download dialog)

So "A bug's life" is just 6 months! 

Why don't we forward bugs upstream, instead of just closing at bugzilla?

As the original reporter, I have to say that this has been working consistently for me for a long time.

That bug has been closed almost 4 years ago, so it you still have a problem, you probably had time (and still have, in fact) to reopen it (if it was the same issue), or open a new one?

ok, my bad, I'm reporting it upstream instead. gnome videos 3.11.4/5

you can download all movies subtitles here, https://subs.dog
