          Issue ID: 126024
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Hyperlink to Video file using Button (not text) opens
                    video file in unknown player with no controls.
           Product: Calc
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: editing
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: theigb@sky.com

Adding a hyperlink to a video file using the Hyperlink dialogue and taking the
TEXT option causes the video file to open in the installed player associated
with the video file type - in my case VLC. As expected and desired.

However if one choses the BUTTON option the video file opens in a frame with a
Title Bar reading "Active Media Player". This frame/player has no transport
controls (Stop, Start, Seek, Volume etc) except for the X (close) button on the
title bar. Clicking on this closes the window but the file (sound) continues to
play. There seems to be no specific process (ie a player) running in Task
Manager responsible for this so I am assuming that the file has opened in a
faulty version of the OO internal player. Trying to exit Calc does not stop the
player (or Calc for that matter)and one has to force an 'end process' in Task
Manager and subsequent recovery at the next open.

Hyperlinks to picture/graphics files  behave 'correctly' using either TEXT or
BUTTON options - ie they open in the file-associated program.

This video behaviour happens for me in two installations of 4.1.1 on two
different machines (an old Intel4 and a modern I7Quadcore)running two versions
of Windows 7.

The work around, though irritating, is obvious - don't use buttons - but I'm
sure this is not how it is supposed to be.

Thank you.
