Actual Results: The MP4 videos are not supported by Libre Office - Impress Expected Results: The MP4 videos are supported by Libre Office - Impress Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.5.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c21113d003cd3efa8c53188764377a8272d9d6de CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR); UI: fr-FR Calc: CL threaded
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, no problem to include the file from https://file-examples.com/storage/feadec8f346400f84963e24/2017/04/file_example_MP4_480_1_5MG.mp4 Now I suppose it depends on the codecs used in the mp4 file. Would it be possible you attach the file or provide an url to download it?
Created attachment 185722 [details] One example This is one example of mp4 files, I tried to insert into my slide.
Thank you for your feedback. On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I don't reproduce this. Idem with LO Debian package 7.4.5. Perhaps Windows only bug.
No repro either with Version: 7.4.5.1 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9c0871452b3918c1019dde9bfac75448afc4b57f CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 13.0.1; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: osx Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded I can insert the file into an Impress slide, then activate the slideshow (Shift F5), and the music will play. I can play the file separately in VLC as well, for what it is worth. As far as I can tell, the MP4 file in question uses the AAC (advanced audio coding) codec. In order to be able to playback the audio, your operating system needs to support that codec with a corresponding shared dynamic library, and LibreOffice needs to be able to access that shared library in order to be able to decode, and play, the audio. According to this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/file-types-supported-by-windows-media-player-32d9998e-dc8f-af54-7ba1-e996f74375d9 If you have Windows media player, then that MP4 container with AAC audio should be readable by your system, in which case, it should also be readable by LibreOffice. If it isn't, and someone else with a Windows OS can confirm that, then this would probably be a bug in the LibreOffice build for Windows.
On Windows 10 with master sources updated some days ago, I could reproduce this. The weird thing is I can open the file with Windows media player, it's just some audio with flute, so it means I got the aac codec installed. Remark: I haven't specific logs on console.
It works for me in the Sidebar media player, but not in slideshow Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 687b950702c49c90cff9a43655ea97a0343799a0 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_FI); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Hi, Effectively, I installed a codecs like proposed, and since It works.
It works on my computer in the the Sidebar media player, and in slideshow.
Ok, probably it is something about codecs on my Win as well, let's close.
