Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2809
MPEG video play problems in presetnation
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:21:02 UTC
I can not get an MPEG video to play within a presetnation. Create a presentation Add slide; type Title, Object Click to add the object, from file (attached file; 5sec.mpg) Set the interaction to be "Start the Object" and "Play" or "Open" run the presetnation slide show. Click object - it does not start, or shows one frame and freezes. (Notes: I have managed to set the properties of presentation on Windows to open in a different window. If I do this I have to set OpenOffice to not run "Always on Top". However you can't get a full screen playback to occur; it pops up a windows and you have to place and resize the controls and window.) (Further note: On StarOffice 6 beta, Insert Object Video gave no error message and did not insert the MPEG file - possibly because it was not a AVI file which is the only option offered in the filename dialog. OO641 allowed it but would not play the embedded objec saying MMSYSTEM error (I think it was 266)
The bug is fixed in a 641x. The problem was, that the inserted video kept not on top (fullscreen and window).
Issue is closed.
Closed.
With OOo RC1, WinXP, an ole video-object configured to play in full screen is falling back to the window-mode again. It looks as if OOo steals the focus from the video-player only to give it back right afterwards, causing the video to "lose" the fullscreen display mode. "Always on top" is turned off for the presentation.
Defect set to Wolfram Garten.
Reassigned to Christian.
I can't reproduce the bug any time longer. Please tell me if the bug still exist in the latest version.
I cannot confirm that the problem is solved. Still the video object loses it's focus just to get it back right afterwards, which makes it play in window mode rather than in fullscreen. No change here between RC1 and v.1.1 final. OS is Windows XP Professional. This did not happen with v.1.0.3.
Please attache a bugdoc.
I can't reproduce the bug. Please give me a step by step description What you do, what happens and what should happen. Please tell me which video player (e.g. real player) do you use.
