What it cannot do yet is display the video at proper speed - right now it displays one frame every screen refresh, or as fast as it can. Today it can receive an image from the decoder, and render it on the screen, fully integrated into the Display View, obeying window movements, size changes, aspect ratio, detached display view, etc. The development of this is getting a long nicely. for extracting audio).įor this we needed a OpenGL video renderer. That means you can play either audio files through the video engine, or play video files as audio-only (ie. My first step, already back in Minneapolis, was to support import of video files, and make audio-only playback work, and that is nearly complete already.

I'll probably do the porting to Linux soon, and we'll see about Mac after that.Īll the core ffmpeg handling is in place, both decoding video and audio, and delivering it to other components that process it. It uses ffmpeg directly, as well as OpenGL for video rendering, so its just a matter of a few hours to get it to work on Linux, and Mac.

I figured I would send an update on how video for linux/mac is going, and since I broke a bit of a milestone today, it seems like a good time.Īs a starting remark, I'm still doing all development on Windows, because its easier for me, however all code I write is independent of any Windows-specific functions. It will still be at least a few weeks before anything useful appears, but it seems that we're well on the road to a successful outcome. I'll use his e-mail to the dev team to let him explain. It has meant replacing all of DirectShow and a lot of other things. I also tested a bit around, still I found nothing that works out-of-the-box on both plattforms.As you may know, Hendrik has been working on building a video engine for Linux and Mac. I found this question, but actually the given solution works well on Linux but on Windows 10, the video cannot be imported. Therefore I’m looking for a good codec combination to convert my videos with either FFmpeg or VLC.

I suspect that on Windows, the supported codecs without installing an additional codec pack are pretty much the same while on Linux, there might be a larger variation.

Still, on Windows it does not work and this question is not intended to be a “why does LO not support MP4 videos”, even though LO could definitely improve its user experience by native support of default multimedia formats, but that’s a different story.įor the moment, I try to find some video / audio codec combination that works by default on Windows and Linux. Out-of-the-box, GSteamer seems to support MP4 files with H264 video codec / AAC audio codec, which seems to be some kind of standard codec for most videos. I read in the online documentation that media support is realized from the hosting operating system which means on Windows by DirectShow as well as GStreamer on Linux. I just have a small question related to video support in LibreOffice.
