Description nectarien 2024-06-02 16:58:22 UTC
Description:
In PowerPoint, I frequently use animations to start videos. When I open the PPTX file in Impress, the videos do not play.

The attached file demonstrates the issue. The textboxes explain what should happen.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached PPTX file.
2. Note how the videos don't play in an Impress presentation.
3. Compare with the proper behavior when opening the file in PowerPoint.

Actual Results:
Videos don't play.

Expected Results:
Videos should play as directed by the animations.


Reproducible: Always

They work fine for me. Maybe the only difference is that in the third slide the video starts immediately when opening the slide, no need to hit right arrow.

Please install LAV media filters and try again: https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases

yes, and this is a bug that I was just about to report:

On a native impress file I have a slide with a picture and a video. I add a animation to the video, to fade in on click.
However, the video starts immediately

Looks like there is an old request: bug 85922. Possible workarounds in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/is-it-possible-to-play-a-video-on-click-in-an-impress-slideshow/1383

It's improved (thanks!) but not fixed. The movies on slide 1 and 2 start playing automatically, which is good. But the movie on slide 3 should not start playing until the animation is played (right arrow key is hit). This issue still persists.

My comment 5 was not accurate, but now I found an older report for the remaining issue, so I'll close this as duplicate.
