Description adilalou 2011-03-28 08:19:11 UTC
I insert video and audio in libreoffice 3.3.1 but it doesn't play anything if the filename has non ascii characters or if there are non ascii characters in the path. I tried with mp3 and avi files.

I can confirm the problem on both, 3.3.2 and 3.4 beta. If I have a video on the folder ~/Vídeo (with a diacritic on the i -the correct Spanish spelling) LibO do not play it, but if I copy the same video to another location without diacritics on path, it works without problems.
I must add that when the video is on the location with diacritics LibO do not show error messages or warnings: it just do nothing with the video.

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

   *Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 
3. Leave a comment with your results. 
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";

To make sure, I had a folder named í and a file named í.wav inside it, inserted to Impress and it played fine. WFM.
