[gst-plugins-base-0.10.32] playbin2 detects 'text/x-ssa' not 'application/x-ssa' or 'application/x-ass' when play ass subtitle

[bcxa sz]

Hi Sebastian,

yes, you are right.

I just saw gstssaparse.c. And in gst_ssa_parse_setcaps(), I found that
GST_ERROR ("Only SSA subtitles embedded in containers are supported");

It means that ssaparse is only used for ssa subtitle embedded in the container.

I think external .ssa or .ass are popular. Let me know if I am wrong.

best regards

BCXA
