Comment 1 Oliver Grimm 2020-02-16 21:16:44 UTC
cannot reproduce here on Version

Build-ID: 1:6.4.1~rc1-2 Debian testing
CPU-Threads: 2; BS: Linux 5.4; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: kf5; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI-Sprache: de-DE
Calc: threaded

Works fine here for file names with or without square brackets.

This observation might be related to #123127 though.

Can you please provide a detailed version info from impress main menu | help | about libreoffice?

Can you reproduce this bug for other file types?

How exactly did you insert the mp4 file? via main menu or drag-and-drop?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the requested information.

Please try and reproduce on windows first.
This was posted a long time ago and I don't have time to process it.
Thanks

Matt: it works for me on Windows. Can you try with version 6.4?
Just to be sure: you were able to successfully insert the video after removing the square brackets from the filename?

Hi there-
have tried to reproduce with 6.4.2.2 and cannot, so considered fixed as of this version.
