Videos with Lubuntu and Libreoffice

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 993 / 3 Years ago, sun, august 1, 2021, 12:44:24

I have a presentation with a video in it (.ogg). While it works really well on my regular desktop (Unity), on my 4-years old laptop with Lubuntu installed LibreOffice cannot play the video, it just stays white. However, I can still play the file in GNOME MPlayer.

Any idea on the codec I need to install or something?

It appears that openjdk doesn't support the JMF, which is required in order to play videos. This following script from here installs sun's java and fixes the problem.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
