Please describe the problem:
Subtitles in a UTF-8 encoded .srt file with a byte-order mark are not shown by
Totem.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable automatic loading of subtitles in Totem.
2. Load a working subtitle file into Gnome Subtitles.
2. Save the subtitles using the same file name, choose UTF-8 for encoding.
3. In Totem, open the video associated with the subtitle file.


Actual results:
Totem does not display the subtitles on top of the video.

Expected results:
Totem to show the subtitles on top of the video.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I initially filed this against Gnome Subtitles (bug 554721).
