Video of Powerpoint playing embedded sound in PPTX file
Confirmed with: Version: 6.4.3.2 Build ID: 747b5d0ebf89f41c860ec2a39efd7cb15b54f2d8 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.11.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx; Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded -- AND -- LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4 See attached sample PPTX file that Impress doesn't seem to be able to play, and MP4 movies of Powerpoint 16.16.21 running under Mac OS 10.11.6 playing the embedded sound in this PPTX file. Setting status to NEW, adjusted Earliest Version. Still no apparent way to get PPTX test file audio to play in: Version: 7.0.0.1 Build ID: 04ba7e3f1e51af6c5d653e543a620e36719083fd CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.11.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded I don't repro this, I can play sound in Win with LO 6.4 and LO 7.1+ both in presentation and from slide, using play control in sidebar. Please explain, what's exact bug for you. Looks like enhancement request to have control on the media, not using sidebar. While MSO video is clear, I don't get that media control in MSO 2016. (In reply to Timur from comment #5) > While MSO video is clear, I don't get that media control in MSO 2016. OK, I could finally. I change the title to enhancement. Question for UX is: should we add media control on right-click like in MSO or add Preview in existing right-click menu or it's enough to have play control in sidebar.

Powerpoint has a floating widget popping up on hover; guess the expectation is either this or to start playback on click (and show a tooltip on hover). We also need a configuration whether to autoplay (as today) or not (the sidebar has room for this). Last but not least, the icon is quite ugly. Workaround is to add an image/shape/button and assign an interaction on click with a link to the audio file. Created attachment 166116 [details]
Screen video of LO not playing Powerpoint audio
There seems to be no way of getting the Powerpoint audio to play under LO runnin on the Mac.

Have just uploaded MP4 screen video showing behaviour under MacOS 10.11: Version: 7.0.1.2 Build ID: 7cbcfc562f6eb6708b5ff7d7397325de9e764452 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.11.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded I can't find a way of getting the audio in the test file (Audio Test.pptx) to play at all. Have set importance back to "Normal", platform to "Mac OS X", since it seems to work for others under other OSs. Andrew, what you are doing is hijacking of general enhancement request with specific Mac issue. For that you can search other bugs and, if not found, open a new one, marking Mac OS. Best is to look for Max users here and CC them asking to test. (In reply to Timur from comment #10) > Andrew, what you are doing is hijacking of general enhancement request with > specific Mac issue.

Please use it with care! The OP's summary (later overwritten) was "With LibreOffice Impress I can't play audio from slides made with PowerPoint". The OPs' expected results say "I will be great if we can reproduce audios from PowerPoint in LibreOffice" (I suspect "I" was meant to be "It" :-). That's the bug I was confirming is present on LO under MacOS. An enhancement request for better audio controls on all Impress files is valid and helpful. However, the OP was reporting inability to play audio on imported PowerPoint files, not asking for a more convenient way to play audio that can already be played. |
