Why are there no playback controls in LibreOffice Impress? (feddit.it)

I'm a user of Impress, and I have a bunch of friends that have settled on it for their presentations, too.

We are generally happy, but for the video side. When you insert a video in your presentation, there is no way to pause and rewind, look for a point of the video. It is a known issue, open for 10 years, and we were wondering if there is a fundamental reason or obstacle for this feature.

Who's up for implementing it? 😁

    It was probably not a version 1 feature initially and nobody had been sufficiently motivated and skilled enough to fix it since

    Why are you posting this here? This is not Linux specific.

    Better ask on the bug tracker or on any libreoffice related forum/subreddit/lemmy instance.

    I saw a Libreoffice community but wasn't very active.. so I thought here I could find users of the software and experts on the possible technical issue. Hope this doesn't bother too much.

    Who knows? Have you tried OnlyOffice?

    Onlyoffice is partly proprietary and includes tracking

    The SaaS or the Flathub one, or both?

    Just checked the Flathub one and its accompanying repo, and could not find any mention of tracking or proprietary components...

    Compared to Plexamp or Spotify on Flathub, where there is a prominent warning box notifying you about it being proprietary
