This is a 16.5Kb file that has no embedded MP4 in it though it references the
MP4 as content.xml as <draw:plugin xlink:href="../small.mp4" ...>

I got the same thing as there is no MP4 in the file.

LO only supports playback through DirectShow filters, while "Windows Media
Player supports the Media Foundation framework besides DirectShow"[1]. So if
you dont have KLite or another codec pack installed that provides DirectShow
filters for MP4, you wont be able to play MP4s.

I'm closing this bug, so as mentioned in comment 36, if an MP4 doesnt insert or
play with KLite installed, please file a new bug and mention the path of the
file and attach or link to it in the description.
