Windows XP x86 LibreOffice 3.3 beta 2 I've been making some presentation and encountered this bug: Create new Blank slide with no pre-made blocks (aka 'click to add content') Insert some video into this slide (AVI) Start presentation Okay, video plays fine Now apply any other slide design from the right pane Our video will go inside one of those pre-made blocks automatically If you start presentation now, it will not play... It only displays some random frame from the beginning of the video. Same happens if you add some video to the slide with some pre-made blocks...
Hmmm... "Repeat video" option does not work either... Playback jumps to the first frame and stops there... Something is really broken here...
Tor any chance you could test this on windows to confirm, I tried on linux but there was some problem ( and anyway I guess on windows it doesn't use the gstreamer stuff anyway ;-) ) so I'd imagine this really could be platform specific
Tested this issue further: The bug does not seem to be codec-related... I tried several formats and several decoders... LibreOffice does not set "Document changed" status if you edit some video playback options, i.e. zoom, repeat, mute, volume... Ctrl+S does nothing until you change something in the document itself... Playback does not start and/or repeat... How to reproduce: Create two empty (No layout!!!) slides Insert some video into the second slide Start presentation from the first slide, then navigate to the second slide Video does not start But, if you start presentation from the second slide, video plays... If you're lucky enough, it will loop either... If you insert video into some slide with layout the video does not play at all... It's totally just an image...
Futher testing (just before my report): OpenOffice.org 3.0 - could not display my presentation at all (!) All slides appear plain white OpenOffice.org 3.1 - Everything works just fine OpenOffice.org 3.2 - Videos do not start playing just as I said before LibreOffice 3.3 - Same as ooo 3.2.1 So, bug has appeared somewhere between 3.1 and 3.2
Fixed by merged commit ooo/OOO330_m18 in LibO 3.3.0 RC2
This is an Impress issue, therefore changed the 'Component' field accordingly.
