Bug related: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46625 (In reply to comment #0) > Created attachment 75470 [details] > Mockup of playback controls in LO (default player in firefox) > Hi Bastian, again, this is great input - would you also propose this to the UX discussion list? I would agree, that this would be a good enhancement (I have therefore marked it as enhancement). This is still relevant for 4.0.2.2 I agree that a nice, GUI would be really helpful here. (especially when presenting on an external monitor, so there is some space for playback controls on the laptop's screen). But as a short-term workaround, could we perhaps just have the basic: play, pause, stop, play-again-from-start options in the right-click menu? Thanks. |

Created attachment 75470 [details] Mockup of playback controls in LO (default player in firefox) The idea to embed or link to a video or audio on a slide, is that it can be viewed dynamically within the slideshow. Tested on: Fedora 18 32 bit LO 3.6.5.2 and LO 4.0.1.0 Windows 7 pro; LO 4.0.0.3 Description of the problem: now when you embed or link a video in LibreOffice Impress and starts the slide show, the video starts automatically and to perform the click stops and goes to the next slide. This has many drawbacks and summarized that not control video playback: → Just the video starts, if you do a little introduction this should be done with a great title in a previous slide. → There is no way to pause the video (in long videos are delimited topics that can be discussed with the audience) → Can not forward / rewind the video. Again in long videos by "X" reasons parties must go back to see them again (or advance). (now you have to cross your fingers and hope everything turns out well) how reproducible 1. Create a presentation with LibreOffice Impress 2. Embed or link to a video on one of your slides 3. Start the slide show and advance slides up to the video Actual Results: The video starts playing automatically (and full volume). By clicking on the video stops and goes to the next slide. Expected results: Controlling video playback via a playback control (play / pause, progress bar, volume and full screen) Additional Information: I think the grace of a presentation is that it can be dynamic in itself. Currently in my classes I use external player or web pages with videos (like youtube) which leads me to close the slide and open the player with the video (look if it hides an elf). The ides of full screen button I add it because it would be very useful, the video could be embedded in an area of the slide (like a picture) and then could be expanded and played in full screen. * I read that mentioned a way to play / pause the video through an animation effect. Honestly I could not find the option and find it a very unintuitive. thanks
