Steps to re-create: - Launch Impress, start a new presentation, Insert, Audio or Video, and select a file. - If file name contains a single square bracket [ ] in the name, it will say "The format of the selected file is not supported". The same file without square brackets will import successfully. - It affects both audio and video files, and the position of the square bracket does not seem to matter. Other brackets such as curly braces and parenthesis work fine. - This issue can obviously lead you think the file is encoded wrongly or you don't have the correct codecs. - I have tested this on 3 different Windows 10 PCs, one of which was a fresh install with no codec packs, so only native WMV support, and same issue occurs when a square bracket was in the WMV file name.
I confirm issue under Win7x64 using LibO 5.3.4.2 and 6.0.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: d7a2fd3e8262b8897ad06f01f25f46330e050e0c CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: GL; TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2017-07-20_08:26:15 Locale: it-IT (it_IT); Calc: group
Downloaded LibreOffice 3.3.0 and 4.0.0.1 ( where option is 'Insert, Movie and Sound' ) and they have the same bug, so this is not a recent regression. Tested on Ubuntu and it works fine, so seems to be Windows specific.
