Solved LibreOffice - Impress

fernandel · Jan 2, 2019

Hi!

I did install editors/libreoffice without problem and it works as before on the old hard drive but I have a problem with sound in Impress. I am using ports nad I check "media' and multimedia/gstreamer1 and multimedia/gstreamer1-plugins are installed to but sound doesn't work. And the system is FreeBSD 12-0-RELEASE (amd64).

Thank you.

Does audio work at all? I mean are other applications using sound correctly?

fernandel · Jan 3, 2019

Yes, audio works except in Impress. I had almost the same installed ports on FreeBSD 11.2 and I didn't have problem. What I remember I had more gstreamer plugins but which? Who knows.
Thank you.

I use Beamer (texlive, with pdflatex). I produced much more beautiful slides.
However no sound, but speech counts.

Yes, I cand do but and I will do but I want to know why I didn't have a problem on FreeBSD 11.2 and I don't have a problem with multimedia/mpv, audio/aqualung, it works with web browsers, I play with graphics/blender and it works but Impress no.

I installed more "gstreamer1 plugins" and it works. Which one is related to Impress I do not know, sorry.

Media playback used to be java media framework based and I believe required advanced java options. A quick websearch suggests that gstreamer, at least in linux, may be an alternative configuration option. My quick scan of the FreeBSD libreoffice Makefile showed java options but no mention of gstreamer.

When I install LibreOffice it install also openjdk, gstreamer1 and gstreamer1-plugins. But sound I’m Impress didn’t work.
