--- Comment #2 from herbert-thomson at freenet.de ---
This is not specific to any document, it happens with all documents. Newly
created ones and existing ones.

However, I'd recommend to not spend too much time investigating this particular
failure case. There could be too much factors responsible for this. Maybe it
just happens because of my particular graphics card? Then you would have a hard
time to reproduce the issue. IMHO the whole media system relying on third party
codecs on top of third party interfaces is bad design. Since I learned that you
already have VLC integrated in LibreOffice but just disabled during
compilation, I ask you to instead fix whatever is holding back VLC integration
in the official releases (because something must still be not solved, otherwise
you would have enabled this already, right?). This is the much better option
for you to spend your time and resources. I am patient enough to wait (in fact
I can wait until 2025, this is the date when my newly ordered Office runs out
of support).

My bug report should be understood as a wakening call that the current media
system is indeed broken.
