Description zingale 2004-10-31 07:02:38 UTC

I updated to the latest OOo development snapshot today (1.9.m58) and tried to
insert video into a new presentation.  I am greeted with an error message saying
that it is not a support file type.  No movies I try seem to work.  All of them
play just fine with mplayer and through mozilla with mplayerplug-in.

I just tried the same, after installing Mozilla plugger instead of
mplayerplug-in, and I get the same errors.  None of the file formats are
recognized.  If I launch the media player separately (from the tools menu), I
get the same problems.

Is there additional configuration that is necessary that is not documented?

The same here with SuSE 9.1 and OOo-1.9.58. So I can confirm this issue. I have
tried avi, mov and mpg files, all resulting in an error message ... :(

According to the spec at
http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/media_player/MediaPlayer.sxw
you have to install the JavaMedia Framework (JMF) and set the classpath within
OOo accordingly.On Unix systems we have only a JMF based backend at the moment
which may not be able to play some formats that other media players support.
Please take a look at the JMF documentation for supported formats. With current
development snapshots of OOo (including m58) you may also get a GPF after
inserting a media file and JMF installed. This is related to #i34161 and will
work after the integration of CWS vcl28. Resolving this issue as duplicate.

BTW: there's been no official announcement of this new feature till now, so this
is still work in progress...

Some comments:

- What on earth does this bug have to do with 34161?

- There appear to be two ways to handle movies, the "old" Insert Object->Movie
and using mplayerplug-in (and or mozilla plugger I guess) and the "new" Java
Media Framework.  Will both be supported going forward?  JMF appears to be quite
limited, and the mplayer support is still quite buggy, so both need work.
