Subtitles Problem with Kaffeine

English Multimedia
1

Hello everyone,

I’m using openSUSE 11.3 for my laptop and Kaffeine built in as my player. But when I tried to play any files with external subtitles, there is nothing happened…

The drop-down list of subtitles is just gray and cannot be used.

So I have two questions:
(1) Can Kaffeine built in openSUSE 11.3 load subtitles automatically?
(2) If it cannot, how to load subtitles manually?

Thanks!

kaffeine should be from Packman - Is yours?

Em… No…
I’m using openSUSE 11.3 and KDE is my windows manager. So Kaffeine is built in.
And here is the output of rpm:
