Comment 3 Jacques Beckand 2019-02-12 17:28:11 UTC
As requested, please find attached a trimmed down example of Impress presentation which crashes when trying to play the inserted video at slide show time. 

Actually you do not need it to reproduce the bug. Just creating a new blank presentation and inserting a video (.mp4) in it triggers the crash.

ATTENTION: this bug exists only under the Linux Lubuntu (release 18.04) OS. It works as expected under windows 10

Many thanks beforehand for you help.

One additional clue:

I uninstalled all LO software which has been installed with the .deb files proposed on the LO Download page.

I reinstalled LO, but **via snap** this time. The problem disappears. Only remaining issue is that the video plays, but the sound only. Display stays on the first image of the video.

Maybe opening a separate bug for this one ?

Many thanks beforehand for your help.
