In my testing of a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04, after installing gstreamer 0.10 ugly, bad, bad-multiverse, all videos would play fine in totem but not in impress until i also installed libav-tools. I found the simplest means of getting everything needed installed is simply to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package from the software center. > For MacOSX I wonder if Tor knows of a basic/built-in video viewer on > MacOSX which uses the same route we are using to render video which can > be used as an example program to compare against to filter out missing > codecs vs libreoffice-side bustate ? > Do you know how playback is implemented on windows as i wanted to do testing on it. Someone mentioned that if i plays in windows media player, then it should play in impress, but unfortunately that is not the case. I plan to set up a wiki page with Joel's help to provide details of how to get audio/video playback to work correctly on different distros/platforms and would appreciate any contributions.
