Description: LibreOffice Impress 7.0.5.2 does not play video, not in Media Playback and not in slide show. Tested with Windows 10 PC and Windows 10 laptop (same result) I use VLC media player. Also installed K-Lite Tested with .wmv .m4v .mp4 .webm test videos and all play well when selected from File Explorer but not in Impress I tried running in safe mode and resetting to factory settings. Does not help. The only trick that works is to open Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make presentation with first slide (some title) and second slide with video 2. Media Playback does not play (video stays frozen) 3. Store presentation and reopen 4. Click F5 and go to page with movie (video stays frozen) 5. Click Esc to stop presentation and (in Normal View) go to slide with video 6. Click F5 and go to page with movie (now the video will play) Actual Results: video stays frozen after opening first time, will only play if you open the page with video in Normal View Expected Results: video starts playing first time Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: The video play function has started deteriorating from Libre Office version 6. I was always able to play .wmv files without problems but even this has started to become troubling. When a video is played on my second screen, a mouse click may make the presentation go to the next slide or halt (and make impress crash). This makes Impress 7 too buggy to use for important presentations. I did use Impress 5 without problems like that and am considering to go back to that version.
Did another test on my home laptop with 7.0.5.2: No problems showing videos using F5 (although clicking with your mouse wheel to go to the previous slide through a video now and then completely freezes the presentation, Impress has to be stopped using the task manager). Media playback did not work. I will try to find out what's different on my work computer.
Please: 1. attach sample file 2. search in existing bugs - there are multiple for Impress video 3. for all tested comps write exact OS version and graphic card and try both Skia and GDI (no Skia) in Tools-Options-View.

No repro reported LO 7.0 and master 7.4+ in Windows 7. No idea, except to try without HW Acceleration in Tools-Options-View. If it's 4K monitor, please write. Anyway, please upgrade to 7.2.7 and test. So far seems like a duplicate, I mark so, please explain if not. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 130524 ***
