Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 70723
linked videos (movies) not cached causing terrible performance
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:41 UTC
To reproduce: 1. Create blank presentation in Impress 2. Turn off any HTTP proxies in Java and OOo 3. Turn on the built-in OOo dialogs 4. Insert->Movie and Sound 5. Use the link http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/testold.avi (>1MB) Results: - OpenOffice.org becomes unresponsive as it loads the .avi - In some cases, all X11 programs can stop responding while the .avi is loading. - The .avi seems to reload every time the slide is loaded, so flipping between slides is slow. - The video is linked, but it does not show in Edit->Links. - It is not possible to break the link (to embed the video). Inconsistency: - Inserting a .jpg in Insert->Picture->From file behaviors differently than the above. Expected results: - OOo opens the video no more than once until the presentation is closed. - It is possible to embed the video.
Is this linux you are using? Is the office version originally downloaded from OOo site? Thanks in advance.
Yes, Fedora Core 5 Linux with OOo 2.0.4 from http://download.openoffice.org
Reproducible. But with off-turned proxies OO does not connect to the URL. The slow performance is visible though.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
