Created attachment 578016 [details] emerge --info Embedding video doesn't work in libreoffice, built with the use flag vlc. Workaround: rebuild libreoffice adding the use flag gstreamer.
does it work in other versions? Can you provide any messages? Perhaps there is some information during compile time already? Please provide the logs. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Attach_the_logs_to_the_bug_ticket and reopen.
(In reply to Jonas Stein from comment #1) > does it work in other versions? ??? sorry. You know libreoffice needs 4 hours to recompile. Now I've added the gwenview flag and I can't give you new info. Anyway, previously the issue happened just inserting "Audio o Video" from "menu insert" and selecting an arbitrary video file, well working with vlc. The message in a dialog window was "the format of the selected file is not supported". nothing was visible on the terminal. I discover the issue because libreoffice was unable to render an embedded mp4 on impress. > Can you provide any messages? > Perhaps there is some information during compile time already?

That's the reason because logs cannot be provided. > https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Attach_the_logs_to_the_bug_ticket > and reopen.

You can see this : https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/854/what-video-formats-does-libreoffice-impress-support/ ========== It depends on the installed codec support and what the platform-dependent multimedia frameworks (used by LibreOffice) support in the way of codecs: On Windows, LibreOffice can open anything for which DirectShow filters are installed (list of default formats). __________________________________________________________________________ On Linux, LibreOffice uses gstreamer, so whatever you can play using gstreamer can be used with LibreOffice (list of defined types). __________________________________________________________________________ On Mac, it uses Quicktime (list of media formats - Apple has now killed this link. Internet archive version here). LibreOffice by itself doesn't support any media files (it could play WAVs directly, but that is of limited use, and not sure whether this is gone as well now). ============ :)

My video is a standard mp4 from an android smartphone... it works well with vlc and any other player. and it works with libreoffice, if compiled with gwenview flag. so, it should work even when libreoffice is compiled with the vlc flag only. Clearly this is a bug. if vlc flag does not works, it should be removed or fixed. please test what I'm saying before closing this again. and please don't use NEEDINFO anymore.

I meant vlc flag, off course.
