The work was done by someone *in* the Helix community! I mean, if someone in OOo was thinking about adding this - then maybe there would be room to debate which media player to use... But since someone *FROM HELIX* did it for us, and even signed the freaking JCA! Let's take what has been so graciously done for us, and be grateful. Unless you personally want to code a patch that uses gstreamer - I suggest you keep your stupid comments about what's going to "fly" to yourself. What is wrong with you people? I mean, seriously, if it's there, and it works - let's use it! Besides, is gstreamer (which I've never heard of) cross-platform? If not, then I doubt it would "fly" in the Windows Market - which, in case you've been living under a tux-shaped rock for the past 10 years - is 95% of the f'ing computing world! The other 5% includes Mac, which OOo runs on, btw, and what'd'ya'know - so does Helix!!!

Hi Mr. Anrndt!
How would one go about getting the programmers at OO to take an
interest in this and code
1. A Media Player designed for OO Impress (which could probably be
used for the rest of the OO office suite as well)

Something like this ?

At this point I doubt anything that used something else than gstreamer as a media fondation would fly in the Linux market.
The only competitive advantage Real had was their own codec and they didn't use it to promote helix player. As a result helix is just another mp3 player almost no one bothers with.
This is a really stupid thing to be complaining about. "Wah! The open source media player he used to enhance our open source program isn't open source enough for our open source users! Wah!" How stupid can you get?
It works. It is open source. It was done by an open source volunteer. It complies with our open source licenses. Get over it!
Sincerely,
