The claim that this bug is fixed: http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41378 is not true for me. If 1) I simply insert the movie, it starts playing as soon as the slide is drawn; 2) If I insert the movie and then choose Custom Animation->Misc Effects->"start media", then the movie also starts playing as soon as the slide is drawn, BUT if I click on it then it re-starts from the beginning. This is not very helpful. The one I am really excited about is "Toggle pause." But here 1) The movie starts playing as soon as the slide is drawn 2) By clicking I can indeed pause the movie, but my next click advances to the next slide. I can't get it to finish playing the movie once I click. The same is true if I hit spacebar.
I can't confirm that as a general problem, works fine with "LibreOffice 3.4.3 RC2 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO340m1 (Build:302)]" and also with "LibreOffice Portable 3.3.3 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:301 Tag 3.3.3.1)]". Linux related? Steps to reproduce: 0. download / unzip attached "testkit34940.zip" 1. Start LibO (Start Center appears) 2. Start "sample0.odp" from Start Center File dialog 3. <f9> to start presentation Expected: Slideshow -> Heading -> Heading -> Smiley -> Movie Actual: as expected This report has not been touched within 1/4 year, so I do not see it as a "Most annoying one" @Reporter: Please attach a test kit demonstrating your problem and a step by step instruction how to create a sample from the scratch.
I am seeing this same problem in LibreOffice 3.3.1 on openSUSE 11.4 (64 bit), KDE 4.6.0. As the reporter describes, using "Start Media" just makes the movie replay from the start when clicked, and "Toggle Pause" does pause the movie, but the next click advances to the next slide instead of continuing the movie.

Created attachment 61091 [details] Test Kit With this test kit the MPG starts after the other animations as expected (I checked with LibO 3.3.3 WIN7. Start on click not tested. But when I insert a mp3 into a Presentation currently "Start on click" will not work.
I experience this bug: any inserted movies start when the slide starts, no matter what I set in the custom animation settings. This bug prevents me from using Impress, so I am really hoping it will be fixed soon. LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) ArchLinux

This problem is still true for LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 (Kubuntu 12.04). Clearly it is Linux-specific.
@Rainer Bielefeld: to be clear, what I'm talking about is: 1. Create a new Impress presentation 2. In a blank slide, select Insert -> Movie and Sound... 3. Find a .avi file (or other movie format) on your hard drive, and select it. 4. Right-click on the inserted movie, choose Custom Animation, then Add... -> Misc Effects -> Start media 5. Launch the presentation (F5 on Linux) You'll see that the movie plays as soon as the slide is shown, rather than when you click. The proper behavior would be to show an image of the first frame as a still, until you click, and then the movie starts playing.
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport_Details#Version> BTW, this problem might be related to 64 Bit OS, but surely not to the processor architecture. There might be 2 different effects: a) cereating a presentation "Start on Click" (or other effects) can not be added to movies, effect will not work (correctly) in slide show. b) a SLIDESHOW with movie with "Start on Click" animation does not work correctly in LibO, movie starts immediately instead of waiting for "start on click". Presentation works fine with other (older) LibO versions or OOo. I limit this report to problem 'a' @tim.holy: Please read the comments in a report! Or do you have information that reporter did his test with a most secret in advance version of LibO 3.5.3 in march 2011 ;-) And why do you think that this Bug "Clearly" is Linux related, although I can reproduce it for presentations newly created with under WIN7 (doing the same test as in your comment 9)? Please do not touch pickers for Version, OS, importance in existing reports. @Rodo Problem is reproducible with custom animation "Misc -> Start Media" for "FRESSE~1.MPG" from test kit in new presentation with parallel installation of Master "LOdev 3.6.0alpha0+ – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) ENGLISH UI [Build ID: 7175cee]" (tinderbox: Win-x86@6-fast, pull time 2012-05-16 22:07:37) and others (3.3.3) I am not 100% sure that it's an EDITING and not a SLIDESHOW problem.

I _am_ the initial reporter. This feature has never worked for me for any version of OO/LO, I was just updating it to the latest version of LO. Sorry if that's not the right thing to do. > And why do you think that this Bug "Clearly" is Linux related, although I can > reproduce it for presentations newly created with under WIN7 (doing the same > test as in your comment 9)? I thought you were implying everything worked on Windows, and I was assuming you had tried the steps that were in the bug report I linked to in my initial report. But, I see that link is now broken, which might explain why we weren't talking about the same thing.
(In reply to comment #7) > @smwilsonau@gmail.com: > <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport_Details#Version> I don't understand what you're asking from me. I provided my version info. I am just saying I experience this bug too. I am hoping it will be fixed soon!
Bug 46625 tells about the same problem IMHO
http://www.kingsoftstore.com/presentation-free.html They do it this way: When adding a video you'll be asked: When to start video? [automatically] [ when I click ] and you're done because you can start/pause/stop videos in arbitrary order on a slide by clicking. Thus the closest and most simple thing to be done for libre impress would be introducing a setting: - initial view: (*) start video (*) show black/white/color rectangle [2] (*) show first frame [3] [2] can be emulated by adding an action stopping the video when the slide starts (follows previous slide) [3] can't be done AFAIK (maybe with some scripting) Because playing movies is one of the most important features a presentation software provides I consider this being very important. I understand that it is possible to create a screenshot of the first frame, add it as image, hide the image and start the video. But that case is that common that there should be an easier way. But who is willing to write assembler today? Tested with 3.6.2.2 windows, release

I totally agree with you. It should be simple as it should be. This is a very fundemantal issue. Should we open another buf report to ask for such feature request? I have made a simple search but there was no request for improving the video controls in Impress. Regards, Zeki

Confirmed this bug exist on LO 4.0.3.3 (Win7 Home Premium 32bit) Movie (tested with .mpg) plays without a click. Then first click while movie playing will restart the video, then second click will end show. Save as .ppt will remove that video after file reopening.
