Hello, Thank you for filing the bug. Please send us a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO', so please do change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once you have attached a document. (Please note that the attachment will be public, remove any sensitive information before attaching it.) How can I eliminate confidential data from a sample document? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FAQ#How_can_I_eliminate_confidential_data_from_a_sample_document.3F Thank you This is not specific to any document, it happens with all documents. Newly created ones and existing ones. However, I'd recommend to not spend too much time investigating this particular failure case. There could be too much factors responsible for this. Maybe it just happens because of my particular graphics card? Then you would have a hard time to reproduce the issue. IMHO the whole media system relying on third party codecs on top of third party interfaces is bad design. Since I learned that you already have VLC integrated in LibreOffice but just disabled during compilation, I ask you to instead fix whatever is holding back VLC integration in the official releases (because something must still be not solved, otherwise you would have enabled this already, right?). This is the much better option for you to spend your time and resources. I am patient enough to wait (in fact I can wait until 2025, this is the date when my newly ordered Office runs out of support). My bug report should be understood as a wakening call that the current media system is indeed broken.

But let's please keep general feature or architectural discussions out of BZ.
