Created attachment 679356 [details] sample movie Description of problem: Insert a movie in Libreoffice Impress. It shows up as a speaker icon in the slide view and doesn't play at all in presentation mode. The same movies played just fine in Fedora 17. Fedora 18 seems to be missing something. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.6.3.2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert a movie 2. doesn't play 3. Actual results: doesn't play Expected results: should behave like Fedora 17, and the movie should play Additional info: sample movie attached -- this working in Fedora 17 (and 16)
Ok, it seems that the issue is that there is now a gstreamer and gstreamer1. Previously, I needed gstreamer-ffmpeg to get movies to play. Now it seems that package is replaced by gstreamer1-libav. Doing a yum install gstreamer1-libav fixes the issue. Not sure why this isn't installed by default with libreoffice.
gstreamer1-libav is not actually in fedora though is it, its in fedora fusion ? caolanm->hadess: shouldn't something have popped up to say "foo codec is required to play this movie, click here to search for it" or some such ?
Yeah, libav is in rpmfusion. As for the foo codec is required, click here to search for it. Well first of all the functionality is broken (rhughues is pushing a fix), secondly one needs to implement support for it in the application, is there such support in the LibreOffice code?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
