------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 5 01:51:39 -0700 2006 ------- Hi, While looking for a way to play a video, I found this ugly trick : I put the file "kshell" in /opt/openoffice.org-2.0/program/ containing the script: #!/bin/sh exec `echo $2 | cut -b 8-` This will allow to launch directly the program without having to go through a browser like konqueror or firefox. So you can again use the "run program" interaction to start mplayer in impress. For me, it is the only solution to start a video. But even with this trick, the program is launched twice, as with a macro intercation. I think the function launching an external program is the same and is broken. Please help solving this bug since it is the _only_ convenient way to play a video under linux. So it is really _critical_ for many users and I have seen many comments about that on the forums. I'm voluntering to solve this, but I need at least a pointer to the file or the directory where to look in since I am totally newby with oo programming and the source is like a jungle for me.
