Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 81649
Video support missing in Impress 2.3
Last modified: 2008-06-13 10:21:05 UTC
Hello, I just got OpenOffice 2.3 (the tag 2.3 was not yet available in the version list) and hopelessly, video support no longer works. I had no troubles with 2.2, all went fine, even if JMF is not really obvious to setup. I checked the CLASSPATH in the Tools->Options->General->Java, and it still includes the /opt/java/JMF-2.1.1e/lib/*.jar Did something changed ? I read something in the release notes about changes with CLASSPATH handling, maybe this is related ? The Ooo package I used has been built by the Arch Linux devs. But I don't think this may be a built issue, right ? I can of course provide more informations if needed.
I can confirm that: JMF used to work in 2.2.1, but doesn't any more in 2.3.
Note that this affects all components, not only Impress/Presentation.
Sorry, not reproducible here. I have running videos with version 2.3.0 in format .avi and .mov.
I have noticed the same thing with OOo 2.3 on Windows Vista. I have a presentation prepared in OOo 2.2, which heavily uses embedded Flash (swf) movies via plugin, one .wmv and several .mov files. None of them is playing in presentation mode.
It would be helpful if anyone could attach a file with a video that worked with 2.2 but does not work with 2.3.0. Thanks.
Actually none video works, I don't think this is a question of compatibility. All the videos I use works with jmstudio so they are supposed to work with OpenOffice, right ? Maybe this is just a problem of setup ? Can you confirm that the setup I use (see first post) is ok ? I can of course post a video if you really want but I'm not sure it would give any clue.

I attached sample file "flash.odp". A video worked with 2.2 but does not work with 2.3.0.
The previous sample is not working, as the flash movie is linked, and was not supplied with the odp file. I am attaching another similar sample, and with it, the linked flash movie. Please place both files into the same directory for testing. In OOo 2.2.1 you should see the flash movie in presentation mode, in 2.3 it is not working.

I posted a patch to solve the problem concerning the showing of flash plugins to issue no 78537. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78537

I close the issue as duplicate.
Please reopen this issue; it is _not_ a duplicate of 49989, which is about Netscape Plugins not working correctly anymore. This issue is about JMF (the comments by hennerdrewes and kamataki are misplaced here).
the title of issue 49989 is - Embedded flash doesn't work therefore it is a flash bug and not a general plugin bug. The bugdocs of your issue and of issue 49989 contains documents with flash plugins. In my mind both issues describes the same bug.
The first comment clearly shows that the original reporter is talking about videos played with the JMF. Flash videos however are played via the Netscape plugin framework (see also the first comment in the other bug report: "... insert a flash animation in a slideshow (Insert > Plugin)"). As I said, the other comments are misplaced here and should probably be moved to issue #49357 "Plugin objects & applets don't play in Slide Show mode".
You are right. I reopen the issue.
Hi, I finally found my issue few weeks ago ! Actually the videos were located in a path containing accents (I'm french...). After renaming the faulty directory, the video played ! And I was also happily surprised to see that JMF is no longer needed... :) Here are my locale settings if needed : LANG=fr_FR.utf8 LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.utf8" LC_TIME="fr_FR.utf8" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.utf8" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.utf8" LC_PAPER="fr_FR.utf8" LC_NAME="fr_FR.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.utf8" LC_ALL= [12:24:58]
Closing this as works for me.
Closed.
