Hi all, I've had a number of great conversations with various developers including Tor, Alex, and Norbert, and now have (I hope) a much better understanding of the situation. For those interested in the details: Even though Apple is deprecating the QuickTime APIs that allow for things such as Perian and other QuickTime Components, the code may stick around for a couple of OS releases. Even if the QuickTime Player X is using AVFoundation in the backend, LibreOffice may be able to continue to use the QuickTime libraries. There are some other possibilities (such as libvlc) that we can investigate for the future, but it's definitely worth it for us to see what's possible on 10.9 right now. Alex -- It would be great to have your test results for a non-VLC-enabled master build on 10.9, both before and after installing Perian and/or the Xiph QT Components: http://perian.cachefly.net/Perian_1.2.3.dmg https://www.xiph.org/quicktime/ Feel free to add those in a table on the wiki, or just let me know via email and I'll make an update to the wiki page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Media_Support#OS_X_10.9_Codec_Support Thanks! --R -- Robinson Tryon QA Engineer - The Document Foundation Volunteer Coordinator - LibreOffice Community Outreach qu...@libreoffice.org _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
