This issue is still present in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, fully updated. An .mkv file with OR without chapters is treated the same by Totem. Most of my files played on VLC (or other player) have chpater information and you can navigate to next/previous chapter.
What is the root cause? Why did this fix (xine-lib v1.1.17, per comment #11) never reach/affect Trusty (14.04)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288762 Title: totem: can't skip chapters in matroska files Status in gstreamer0.10 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xine-lib package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: totem-xine Totem is unable to access the chapters of Matroska files.
