xplayer doesn't play video, but sound ; vlc, mpv, smplayer can both

[hardt68]

Hello,
I'm stuck with a LO Impress (Version: 6.0.6.2) that displays videos embedded in the presentation with only a music icon. Some others are working fine in the same LO Impress file. So I checked the differences between the native files and found out that the same happens with xplayer: the same files are played without video (only sound). The others are fine.
All files can be read by VLC, MPV, SMPLAYER.

Here the noticed differences I could identify in the MEDIAINFO-report of 2 typical files:

So no real surprise: a codec is missing. But available for the other player... And I couldn't identify which package is really missing.

Please help !

[thx-1138]

...gstreamer1.0-libav i would assume?

[hardt68]

Thanks thx-1138

Code: Select all

apt install gstreamer1.0-libav

solved the situation with the players, not for LO Impress.

Will open an other topic in a corresponding forum.

Enjoy LMDE !
