Description Micke M 2014-03-28 11:32:15 UTC
Problem description: 
Adding a audio file results in a error message (I use the Swedish language file so its my own translation here): "The format of this file is not supported". I have tried the following formats: .mp3,.aif, .flac, .m4a, .ogg, .wav and .wma. I read somewhere that the OSX version of Impress uses QuickTime which is of version 10.3 on my MacBook and my OSX is version 10.9.2 (Swedish).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make a new presentation
2. Choose add a movie or sound
3. Choose a file and klick OK

Current behavior: "The format of this file is not supported".

Expected behavior: The audio file should be included in the presentation (and play when showing the presentation of corse).

Best regards
Mikael M

Hi Micke, there are several bugs covering this:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60535
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56847

Some cover only the video issues. But I still set this to duplicate.

Please search the tracker first for dupes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&list_id=409027&product=LibreOffice&query_format=specific&order=changeddate%20DESC%2Cbug_status%2Cpriority%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_id&limit=0

This very bad situation will improve once LO manages to use VLC codecs. So if you have VLC installed on your system ideally everything that VLC can play, LO will support. I'm not sure how far development with that is. But at least that was the plan.
