Description Douglas Rennehan 2014-12-03 08:33:43 UTC
Straightforward example, for reproducibility:

1) Create .wmv file.
2) Name anything with a '%' in it.
3) Try to insert movie, should give an error that it isn't supported
4) Rename without '%' and it should add.

Haven't tested with other special characters.

> 1) Create .wmv file.

Use attachment 110603 [details]

> 2) Name anything with a '%' in it.

$ cp lightning02-pixiecherries-pubdom-archivedotorg.wmv walrus%teeth.wmv

> 3) Try to insert movie, should give an error that it isn't supported

(Getting a crash (bug 87132) when inserting WMV using 4.4 beta builds -- testing with 4.3.5.1 instead)

- Insert -> Movie and Sound -> "walrus%teeth.wmv".

RESULT: No error upon insertion

So NOREPRO with LO 4.3.5.1 + Ubuntu 14.04

> 4) Rename without '%' and it should add.

Yep, the file also adds fine without the '%' in the name.

I can insert the sample file from comment #1 after renaming it to something with a "%" in it.

OSX 10.10.1 LO Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: a26222f5af55e8ffe9784dd411485d3c5c72e983
TinderBox: MacOSX-x86_64@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-12-07_00:14:47
Locale: de_

But the movie does not play when working on the presentation neither in presentation mode.

Looks like windows only then.
Comment 3 raal 2014-12-10 14:02:33 UTC
I can confirm with LO 4.3.4.1, win7

Dear Douglas Rennehan,

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 with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
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) from https://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';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
