Description Dario Chiappetta 2011-07-09 06:39:39 UTC
I've tried to insert the following video file (divx) on a slide via "Insert>Movie and sound":

/home/dario/università/tiegccdemo.avi

It doesn't work: the video space is shown as a gray square during the presentation.

However, if I load the same video file from my home dir (/home/dario/tiegccdemo.avi) it works like a charm.

The same happens if I load the video file from /home/dario/tmp/ (works) and /home/dario/tmpù/ (doesn't work).

I've found a similar bug, involving cyrillic letters, here:

output of locale please ?
i.e. is it a non-utf locale is what I'm wondering
Comment 2 Caolán McNamara 2011-07-09 06:53:03 UTC
oh, and is this gnome or kde or something else. It may be the file selector itself and that's per desktop

hmm, looking at the gstreamer specific code, I suspect its simply the mangling into US_ASCII.

Now fixed (I bet) by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libs-core/commit/?id=6b211c4735b3965429e82dc100ef0cd0db810fed
