Hello!
Since I have been unable to insert audio and video files into my
LO-4.0 presentations since the time of upgrade, I just wanted to ask if
somebody is more lucky with multimedia files in LO-4.0 on Gentoo.
If somebody got this working, could you please share a recipe?
Thanks!
Vladimir

Someone here mentioned that installing openjdk-7-jre allowed him to embed
videos:
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/854/what-video-formats-does-
libreoffice-impress/
This seems to be a buggy issue for various versions and platforms. I don't
have java to be able to insert anything in Impress-3.6.4.3, it just comes up
with "The format of the suggested file is not supported" when I tried an avi
file.

I have no problems inserting (and playing) media files into
LO-3.6.4.3 Impress, and I do not have Java installed. LO-3.6 plays
nicely with media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.13-r2, so I wonder
why LO-4.0 does not.

Vladimir

Ah! Was missing that plugin - this explains it.

Yes, but having the media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav-1.0.5 plugin for
gstreamer-1.0.5 does not solve the problem for LibreOffice-4.0. It
cannot recognize any multimedia files I try to open, although it
supposed to work with gstreamer-1.x series as they claim.
Oh, and by the way, I asked my friend who uses LO on a Windows
machine and he told me that inserting multimedia files into LO-4
documents works just fine for him. So it really seems like a
Gentoo-related problem (or maybe even more generally --
GNU/Linux-related problem). Isn't it connected to the recent switch
from FFMpeg to Libav on Gentoo, by the way?

Hello everyone!
I still cannot play any video or sound inside LibreOffice-4 even
after upgrading to version 4.0.1.2. And I even have no clue where to
search for the bug.
Did somebody succeed in playing media files in LO (for example, in
Impress presentations)?
Thanks!

I've never had problems playing media files in loimpress, so I all I can
do is guess. Have you tried starting loimpress from a bash prompt and
looking for error messages as it tries to open a presentation file?

If you can play video files in LibreOffice-4.0.1.2, could you please
tell me which related packages do you have installed? (like
gst-plugins-libav, gstreamer and so on). And what USE-flags do you
turn on for libreoffice?

I tried to launch Impress from the command line, but it does not give
any error messages. When I open the built-in media player ("tools" ->
"media player") and try to open some video or audio file in it, it just
tells me that the format is not supported.

Vladimir

You may want to run loimpress --strace mypresentation.odp in a terminal, where
mypresentation.odp is the file that has the media embedded in it and see if
you find what's going wrong by fishing in the strace.log file created in your
/home (run tail -f ~/strace.log).
If the error is not obvious you could ask here for help to decipher the strace
output and of course in the LO IRC channel or M/L .

I get the same error but I've never used the built-in media player so I
don't know if that's a problem or not.
I have two versions of gstreamer and all of its plugins, which caused me
some problems with rhythmbox a few months ago. I had to emerge all of the
newest versions of the plugins to match the newer gstreamer. I don't know
which version of gstreamer libreoffice is using.
BTW I just upgraded lo to 4.0.1.2 and no one has sent me any power-point
files recently so I really don't know yet if they would play properly or
not.

Could you please check if my sample presentation works on your
system? There is a small video embedded into the slide.
Here is a link http://ftp.wombat.org.ua/04-Sun-Activity.odp (740kB)
Thank you!

No, my 4.0.1.2 doesn't play your presentation. It displays a light
brown rectangle and nothing else. I uploaded your odp to google docs
and tried to play it but I've never tried that before so I'm probably
doing something wrong.
More informed opinions are welcome, of course :)

That was what I got to. I thought maybe it was just me so I didn't
post. Guess it was not just me.

Thank you for testing! That is exactly the problem. I am able to play
this presentation in LibreOffice-3.6 on Gentoo and in LibreOffice-3.5
on Debian. I also tried to play it in LibreOffice-4 for Windows, and it
went just fine. So, the problem seems to be related to either Gentoo
libraries (for example, ffmpeg --> libav transition) or with my current
configuration.
Any other opinions/tests/suggestions?
Thank you!

Hello everyone!
This time I'm just writing to ask anybody who tested my sample
presentation and experienced the same problem that I do, to confirm my
bugreport here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456980 in order
to draw the developers' attention to this issue.
Thank you!
