Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 101850
impress media control does not work
Last modified: 2009-05-20 06:40:33 UTC
The ability to start an embedded movie upon clicking (not immediately when the slide is advanced) in an impress presentation (wmv, mov) is broken.
The version is actually not OOO310m9, but rather 000310m11.
Please give a detailed step by step description of your action. Thanks.
1) Open OO Impress 2) Choose Empty Presentation 3) Insert>Movie and Sound 4) Choose movie file from local system HDD (ogv, wmv, mov) 5) Right click on place-holder and select "Custom Animation" 6) Choose "Misc Effects" tab 7) Select "Start Media" 8) Make sure "Start Media" is Effect Start "On Click" 9) Save presentation 10) Start presentation ***Movie file should not play until mouse is clicked while over placeholder*** 11) Movie file plays immediately upon advancement to slide containing movie as per OpenOffice 3.0 12) Media control does not work (or I'm using it completely incorrectly)
Wasn't using correctly - Slide Show | Slide Show Settings => one has to uncheck "Animations Allowed" Please see screencast by thb: http://blog.thebehrens.net/2008/07/18/slideshow-media-effects/
Ok, thanks for the comment.
