Package: pdf-presenter-console
Version: 4.0.5-1
Severity: normal

Hello!

Thanks a lot for maintaining the Debian package for this really interesting
PDF presentation tool.
I've just found out about it, while searching for (DFSG-free) PDF viewers
capable of playing back movies embedded in pages of a PDF file.

It seems that pdfpc works really well in this regard, except for some
little missing pieces.

As the documentation itself states (see section _Movies_ of the pdfpc(1)
man page), movies embedded in LaTeX with the "multimedia" package are
played back by pdfpc. For instance, the following LaTeX statement

  
\movie[loop,showcontrols=false]{\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{figs/mymovie_first_frame}}{mymovie.avi}

embeds mymovie.avi into a rectangular area (within the document page) that
is filled with the figs/mymovie_first_frame.jpg image (the first frame
of mymovie.avi), whenever the movie is not played.
Of course, the preamble must include

  \usepackage{multimedia}

otherwise the \movie command won't be recognized by pdflatex...


The playback of the embedded movie works flawlessly with pdfpc, except
that the loop option is ignored (hence the movie is played only once)
and the showcontrols=false option, which is the default, is also not
taken into account (hence the progress bar is always shown).
This is confirmed by the pdfpc(1) man page.

For my needs, the support for the loop and showcontrols=false options
is really important.


The man page suggests an interesting alternative: using the following
statement:

  
\href{run:mymovie.avi?loop&noprogress}{\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{figs/mymovie_first_frame}}

after having (directly or indirectly) loaded the "hyperref" package:

  \usepackage{hyperref}

This works perfectly in pdfpc, but has the non-negligible flaw of being
specific to pdfpc: it fails to work with any other PDF viewer, which
complains about not finding file `mymovie.avi?loop&noprogress' ...
In other words, this approach, while working with pdfpc, defeats the
portability of the resulting PDF file: this is not great.


In summary, I would like to see the support for the loop and
showcontrols=false options implemented in the movie playback capability
of pdfpc.

Could you please forward my feature request upstream?

Thank you so much for your time and for any help you may provide.
Bye!
