Wath 's the current situation and the future for playing mp4 video's in LibreOffice Windows ?

Mp4 can aperently been played on Mac and Ubuntu (LO 4.3)

From related issues i learned that there is new code using VLC and his included codec's
Will the new code also work using the Basic and API who is currently using DirectX and limited to some older codec's (avi etc....)
oManager = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.media.Manager_DirectX")
oPlayer = oManager.createPlayer( videoURL )

Thanks for any hints

Hi,

You need to have the codec installed.... A VLC integration is planned...

Florian ,

thanks for the quick respons ,
do you mean that after the mp4 codec is on a windows machine i can use

oManager = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.media.Manager_DirectX")

for playing MP4 video's ?

Hi Florian,

Is it ? My understanding was that it was currently unworkable...did I
miss something ?
