Are you sure you have the right video CODEC installed.

I use Ubuntu, but you should try here: https://software.opensuse.org/package/opensuse-codecs-installer?search_term=opensuse-codecs-installer

Hi all,

Well, theoretically I know the answer, I read quite a bit of text and watched youtube videos. But I simply cannot make it work. I try it on openSUSE with KDE (Plasma) and LO 5.2.3.3. I read somewhere that only .ogg videos work - but not for me. I saw a tutorial where .avi also worked. OK, it is a container format. When I insert a video file, it is seemingly embedded, but when I try to play it, LO freezes.
Sound files work.

And one more thing: I tried to choose the insert reference option (or something like that), but it does nothing. It would be comfortable and acceptable if I could open videos in an external player

What could be wrong?

Help, please!

Thanks for the suggestion, but it does not work. In them meantime I
tried in Virtualbox Linux MInt: worked out of the box. Tried Ubuntu:
did not work first, but offered to install some more packages which
then drew in even more packages. But then worked. So I do not know
what is wrong with my installation.

Two questions:
Do you have packman repository enabled?
If yes, did you switch all multimedia related packages (mainly gstreamer and ffmpeg) to packman?

Also, there are a couple of gstreamer packages with "orig-addon" in the name that are only available from packman: install them too!
