Description Alex Thurgood 2014-06-02 12:01:14 UTC
This is an OSX specific bug in response to the closure of bug 56847.


How to reproduce :

1) Start Impress
2) Insert a video file
3) Start slideshow display

Result : no video playback, blank screen
Expected : video should play and be visible with sound

N.B. The video files tested play fine on OSX with either Quicktime, VLC, or MPlayerX, so please don't tell me I need codec xyz...

Comment 25 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-02 15:10:35 UTC
Another additional problem when leaving preview or slidescreen display mode is that the mouse cursor disappears completely until you click outside the LO application window. This is particularly annoying :)

Comment 28 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-03 07:51:11 UTC
Note that the AOO plugin provided for a similar AOO bug looks for AOO 4.1 and so does not install on LO.

Comment 35 Alex Thurgood 2014-08-25 07:24:40 UTC
And regressions (comment 27) get ignored as no longer being MAB ?

I give up. Seriously, what is the point of all the testing if this is the kind of "automated" response that a QAer gets ? 

When was this decided ?

I don't see it in the minutes of the latest dev IRC, merely that a discussion took place.
Comment 36 retired 2014-08-25 07:35:53 UTC
Alex, don't take this personally. I don't think it was done in bad intention.

Raising back to "highest" since

* broken core functions (or is using videos in presentations not a core functionality?)
* happens frequently, 100% of times to be exact

so from  the flowchart this qualifies as Highest, Blocker.

Maybe because it's "only" OSX makes it less bad? Also video usage in presentation is still a major pain on all platforms (linux seems to work a little if you're lucky, while OSX and windows seem to be completely broken. So it would be great of the dev team, to address this core functionality bug.

Steve, not taking it personally at all, just a tad narked that yet again, a whole swathe of reports get the automatic whitewash treatment - surely, if the keyword regression is in the report, then the query used to decide whether or not to send out the automatic response is not working properly ?
Comment 38 Alex Thurgood 2014-08-25 08:27:18 UTC
Compare that with the fact that a new feature, introduced in 4.3 development (the OSX toolbar gradient bug 80474) and which happens to not work as intended gets prioritized to MAB because it is a regression. Either it is a regression because the new development, aimed at and for OSX, screwed up LO on OSX only, as in the present video mess up, or else one takes the view that as it is a newly implemented feature that doesn't work properly, and it shouldn't have made it into the mainstream product (I thought that was what we had the "experimental" setting for). In the latter case, it shouldn't then become a MAB. Anyway, I digress.


Does changing the importance back to highest put back the link to MAB, it doesn't appear to have done that. Bjoern's reset appears to have removed this from the MAB list, since the link is no longer referenced.
Comment 39 Michael Meeks 2014-08-25 10:08:10 UTC
Hi Alex; Wow this is a hugely long bug to read =) I didn't have time to get to the end of it.

Any mention of VLC / Mplayer is a red-herring. We tried to integrate with VLC for GSOC, and wrote some code for that, and its a nightmare in its current state.

So - I'd say step #1 - check that we're not turning that on in product builds for any platform; it's likely to break stuff.

If there is any program/*avmediavlc* library inside the install, can you delete it and see if that fixes things ?

Beyond that - I imagine that this is something bisectable if it used to work and now is broken.

Looking here on Linux for no reason I understand libavmediavlc.so exists on my system. I guess a simple fix here is to simply turn that off with extreme prejudice.
Comment 40 tommy27 2014-12-05 19:50:03 UTC
please Mac users, retest with 4.3.x or 4.4.x recent builds
if bug is still present please move this from mab4.2 list to mab4.3 list since 4.2.x reached the end of life

I tested this with TDF build 4.4.2.2 on OS X 10.9. Maybe it is not perfect, but I did not experience dramatic problems. Video playback worked in slideshow mode for most of the formats. See https://youtu.be/YN9uXIaxUUY

In master dev alpha 500, attempting to start slideshow in fullscreen with a MOV video inserted into a slide leads to a reproducible crash.

MPG file

Instead of documenting what does not work. I thought I would say a case that does.

I have found that an MPEG file work with both video and audio in presentations, but only if I use the 'link' option rather than embed.

Comment 47 steve 2015-09-02 17:18:37 UTC
@Vossman The best thing to do at the moment is update the following wiki:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Media_Support/Summary
and
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Media_Support

Once the wiki has more data, it will be much easier for devs to prioritize and tackle proper video support in LO.

I am not completely sure what specific issue this bug actually is about at this stage, but anyway, for me in a recent build of LibreOffice, on macOS 10.13, I could not insert videos into presentations at all using Insert > Audio or Video, but dragging and dropping worked. (That is, I saw the same as Telesto says in comment #51.) I have a fix for that in gerrit: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/50390/

Alex, re: comment #50, in a curent Keynote (7.3.1), I can't insert a .webm file. At least not the one attached to this bug.

Isn't the mention of "fullscreen" in the bug title a bit redundant? That is when videos inserted into slideshows play, when viewing the slide show, and that is always full-screen, isn't it?

There was a time when the behaviour between what you could or couldn't see in the preview was different to what you could/couldn't see in slideshow mode, so testing and reporting was made to relate to that. It might well be today that there is absolutely no difference now, i.e. that the behaviour is consistent, but I haven't run the whole series of tests again for a while.
