(Mankind can rest more peacefully tonight.) Given that my original account with Apache was made years and years ago it's entirely possible that my current ill-deserved status is not reflected in my BugZilla account. I'll contact Infra about my account. In the meantime, if someone more privileged wants to look at updating the Release Notes….

If I follow all your links back it appears that the problem is directly related to the Quicktime API having been removed in the MacOSX SDK 10.7 which is now the base for AOO. Is this essentially correct? If it is then just some words around further investigation needed for a fix. Regards Keith signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Herbert sure can explain the technical details, what I could understand is that the Quicktime API (QTKit framework) has been deprecated in favor of the AV Foundation framework, see https://developer.apple.com/quicktime/ https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2300/_index.html Deprecated does not mean removed, may be the plug-in can still be built; but anyway let's keep it simple for the users, and don't give the technical explanation why the feature has been removed, but explain the consequences (the known issues): - existing documents containing audio and/or video: the media cannot be played; the Media Playback toolbar appears when you select the media, but pressing the Play button does nothing - it is imposible to insert new audio and/or video, you don't even get the grey image-placeholder - logically, the sounds from the Gallery cannot be played nor inserted In short, there is no support for inserting/playing back video/audio in MacOSX with 4.1.0.

Regards Hi Ariel; As usual your explanations are both succinct and cogent. The nuts and bolts technical details I am sure would be far beyond my pay grade. As I am not a programmer I just wanted to double check my reading of all the links. I am off to the c-wiki to start a hopefully simple and understanding statement of the problem.

Only problem is that for whatever reason the c-wiki will not allow me to create a link to the Bugzilla Issue. When I enter the address and the link text in the boxes and press insert nothing happens. If someone else could try and create the link it would be greatly appreciated. Regards Keith signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
