Comment 17 for bug 172262

NoOp, thank you for working together on this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. I confirmed your workaround via the following tests:

In Ubuntu 10.10, in both libreoffice-impress & openoffice.org-impress at the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/172262/+attachment/1827497/+files/testNoOp.odp && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/172262/+attachment/250368/+files/instalacia.ogg && soffice -impress testNoOp.odp

A popup box notes: Update all Links? -> clicked Yes button -> clicked on the grey box with a question mark -> Play button, first time it played for a second then stopped. Second and subsequent times did not play at all. However, pressed F5 and the video was displayed in it's entirety. Closed the file. At the Terminal:

mv instalacia.ogg ~/ && soffice -impress testNoOp.odp

A popup box notes Update all Links? -> clicked Yes button -> grey box with a question is now a grey box with a speaker & waves coming out. Clicking Play button or F5 does not show the video. Clicked Edit -> Links -> Modify button -> instalacia.ogg -> Open button -> Close button -> Play button did not play at all. However, pressed F5 and the video was displayed in it's entirety.

Regarding your comment:

> @Christopher: you are using a PPA version of LibreOffice (500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386), please file a bug against that PPA version and that package.

It is known a PPA is being used & the bug against it is this bug. ;) Following the directions as per http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport#Reporting_Ubuntu_bugs this bug was tagged with lo33. As well, this bug addresses the same problem (& workaround) in both openoffice.org-impress & libreoffice-impress, triangulating the efforts of the Ubuntu, LibreOffice, & OOo communities. Thank you for your understanding.
