Re: [gentoo-user] Re: LO 4.0 playing media with gstreamer-1.0.5 ?
Hello everyone! This time I'm just writing to ask anybody who tested my sample presentation and experienced the same problem that I do, to confirm my bugreport here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456980 in order to draw the developers' attention to this issue. Thank you! Vladimir - v...@ukr.net

More informed opinions are welcome, of course :) That was what I got to. I thought maybe it was just me so I didn't post. Guess it was not just me. Dale Thank you for testing! That is exactly the problem. I am able to play this presentation in LibreOffice-3.6 on Gentoo and in LibreOffice-3.5 on Debian. I also tried to play it in LibreOffice-4 for Windows, and it went just fine. So, the problem seems to be related to either Gentoo libraries (for example, ffmpeg -- libav transition) or with my current configuration. Any other opinions/tests/suggestions? Thank you!

If you can play video files in LibreOffice-4.0.1.2, could you please tell me which related packages do you have installed? (like gst-plugins-libav, gstreamer and so on).

I tried to launch Impress from the command line, but it does not give any error messages. When I open the built-in media player (tools - media player) and try to open some video or audio file in it, it just tells me that the format is not supported. Regards, Vladimir You may want to run loimpress --strace mypresentation.odp in a terminal, where mypresentation.odp is the file that has the media embedded in it and see if you find what's going wrong by fishing in the strace.log file created in your /home (run tail -f ~/strace.log). If the error is not obvious you could ask here for help to decipher the strace output and of course in the LO IRC channel or M/L . -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I get the same error but I've never used the built-in media player so I don't know if that's a problem or not. I have two versions of gstreamer and all of its plugins, which caused me some problems with rhythmbox a few months ago. I had to emerge all of the newest versions of the plugins to match the newer gstreamer. I don't know which version of gstreamer libreoffice is using. BTW I just upgraded lo to 4.0.1.2 and no one has sent me any power-point files recently so I really don't know yet if they would play properly or not.

And I even have no clue where to search for the bug. Did somebody succeed in playing media files in LO (for example, in Impress presentations)? I've never had problems playing media files in loimpress, so I all I can do is guess. Have you tried starting loimpress from a bash prompt and looking for error messages as it tries to open a presentation file?
