Will try, but it's a hackaround at it's best, especially as removing this
doesn't work in some cases ...

Bug#717112: libreoffice: Insert Movie and Sound, and Media Player not working

2013-10-12 Thread Raphael Wimmer 

Hi.
I had the same issue, and at least for me it was kind of a gstreamer bug:

Short version: install  gstreamer1.0-libav, and possibly remove  
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad to get rid of 'eglglessink' which might get  
incorrectly used for video output.


Long story:
First, gstreamer1.0-libav was missing (a post in the Arch Linux forum  
tipped me off [1]).
After installing this package (from testing), a preview, i.e., the first  
frame of the video, was shown for videos inserted on a slide.


However, playback did not work yet - there was just a white empty window,  
and Libreoffice locked up.
LibreOffice uses the gstreamer 'playbin' module(?), which offers an easy  
way to play media files.


One can also run it as follows:

gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///path/to/vid.webm


However, this command failed for me, giving an error message about EGL and  
no access to DRM2.
Theoretically, playbin should automatically select the best video output  
(e.g., Xvideo), as documented in [2]:


"By default, if no audio sink or video sink has been specified via the  
"audio-sink" or "video-sink" property, playbin will use the  
autoaudiosink and autovideosink elements to find the first-best  
available output method. "


This was apparently not entirely correct, as playbin automatically used  
'eglglessink' - which was the first video sink listed when running  
'gst-inspect-1.0'. However, as my desktop system does not support EGL, no  
video was output.


Strangely, the explicitly setting 'autovideosink' as the video sink  
correctly selects xvimagesink as video output:
gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///path/to/vid.webm  
video-sink=autovideosink


This is either a bug in gstreamer or misconfiguration in my gstreamer  
setup.


There is no way of selecting the video sink for LibreOffice playback  
without changing the source code.
Therefore, I resorted to removing package gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad which  
contains 'eglglessink'.


Video playback in LibreOffice worked afterwards.

Can anyone confirm this?

Best,

Raphael

How long did you have to wait before the mp3 loaded? I waited for 45 mins
and the program was still unresponsive.

Kind regards,

Hmm.

Tried today with LO 4.1.0-3 from sid (in my sid chroot).
Downloaded some random, free mp3 from the web, added it. And it *did* play
in the slideshow...

Took a long time to insert it, (and when opening the file again...) though...
Maybe that's what you saw as a hang?
("I see shm_open() failed: Function not implemented" on the console...)

Then tried to insert a .mpg I had around here (taken myself) and that didn't
play (even after installing gstreamer1.0-libav)...

Uptodate sid.

Rene

Since it was working with the libreoffice.org packages I thought it was a 
Debian packaging bug, but should I report upstream instead? BTW I did 
test with Totem (which also uses gstreamer, right?) whether my sound and 
movie files worked, and Totem played them just fine.

Arnout

Never saw that but then again I don't do such things.

I re,e,ber some problems discussed *before* 4.0.0.x, but without
clear outcome.

The only difference here is that they use the old gstremer 0.10 version
and we use 1.0 (which is officially supported by upstreams build system
itself, nothing patched by us...)

And no, I am *NOT* going back to a obsolete library version. Especially
as above discussions also showed the problem with 0.10 afaicr.

Rene
