In "videos" (e.g. totem player), under Ubuntu 15.04, how do you turn off subtitles on a video that has them in metadata? All subtitle options in the Preferences are unticked. Setting their font size to 1 is not a great solution.
How do you prevent the video from immediately repeating when it finishes? The Repeat option on the Edit menu is unticked.
Setting them to size 1 is not a great solution, but setting them to size zero works!
You have to do it via gsettings though, the GUI will not allow size zero. Use the following command:
gsettings set org.gnome.totem subtitle-font '[whatever your font is here], 0'
You can turn them off for the current video in the menu, but every time you start a new video they come back. As far as I can tell, this is the only way to set no subtitles as a default.
