got some troubles running .3gp which run in Quicktime. (text conversion dialog)... but this is happening with normal drag'n'drop, too. Unsupportet MIME Type?
You are correct. I have added .3gp and .3g2 to the list of movie and sound file extensions.
I believe Jacqueline's iTunes files have the same problem so as soon as she posts the file extensions for her files, I'll put out another test patch.
I am not able to insert music from iTunes via the Media Browser. I always get the Insert section dialog. That seems strange because all these files can be inserted via the Insert > Movie and Sound menu

What are the extension on the files?
Patrick
They are all AAC files. I can insert mpeg and aiff files.

Sorry, that doesn't work with the aac files.

AAC or .aac? iTunes usually adds a .m4a extension to AAC audio files. For this issue, the format doesn't matter, as long as it's supported; Patrick needs to know the actual extension of the files.
Edit: Indeed, .m4a files do not work after applying Patch 2 Test 3, but .aac files work (and, .m4v seems to work as well). Similarly, .wmv files work, but .asf ones don't.
Patrick, since you added all these extensions to Insert > Movie and Sound, isn't there a source file where already added extensions reside?

@Patrick: I just started NeoOffice. According to Activity Monitor, it has <1% CPU usage, 16 threads and uses 96.25 MB RAM. Response is normal.
I select Media Browser (have to do it twice before it starts): RAM actually drops to 86 MB, then to 81MB after I click on the bookmarks stuff.
Drops to 73 MB after selecting Photos, but I noticed the number of threads is now 32! Every time, CPU usage jumps to about 60%-70% for a few seconds. I clicked on movies and looked through the three dozen clips I have and found that threads rise to 38 and memory dropped again.
Then I closed Media Browser and now NeoOffice uses 72.32 MB of RAM, <1% CPU and 38 threads. I did notice that virtual memory kept growing all the time, from 700MB initially to around 800MB. Not such a big deal.
I could reproduce this behaviour almost exactly. I didn't close it the second time, but clicked on Music instead. Then I saw two instances of something called 'movietool', one of which stopped, and the other of which started to eat 80% of my CPU. I checked again and saw that it ran very quickly when I selected Movies. This time, movietool did not appear after I selected Music, but NeoOffice hit 80%+ for itself, and got up to 50 threads...
Something is very erratic here, and I have no idea what..
@Ed: I haven't too many photos in my iPhoto library (don't recall many), no movies in my iTunes and only1443 songs..
@Smokey: they seem to have a Firefox parser and a Safari parser.
Best wishes,

The number of threads is normal. This is how QuickTime works: it creates many separate threads to manage video and sound. For example, when I open NeoOffice, insert a simple movie, and play it, the number of threads jumps by 15 or so threads. Playing the same movie in QuickTime player does the same thing: the number of threads jumps to 15 threads.
Unlike viewing an image (which itself can be very resource intensive for high resolution images), movies and sound require an order of magnitude or two more resources first to unencode into drawable frames and then draw those frames to the graphics card.

I can replicate the double-click to display problem with the nib included in the Dutch translation; something is throwing an exception in awakeFromNib that isn't in the other languages. I'll try to track that down.
For opening the music panel, Spotlight is used first and the metadata tool secondly. By any chance do you have Spotlight disabled? Also, what type of machine are you running on? It takes about 6-7 seconds on my G5 Quad to finish parsing and loading all of the music pane (Spotlight enabled on all drives).

It's AAC, probably converted automatically by iTunes.

Jacqueline, are you sure you installed the latest test patch (Patch 2 test 3)? With that patch, I have no problems dragging .aac files in a NeoOffice Writer document.
If you have installed the patch, maybe you could post the .aac files that work via Insert > Movie and Sound, but don't via drag-and-drop, somewhere?

Yes, I'm sure

In the iTunes window, the type is AAC. When I search in
Music > iTunes > iTunes Music, I see that those files are .m4a files.
Probably, it's the cause of the problem, as you said that .m4a files don't work

.m4a is the extension given by iTunes to all or at least most AAC files. iTunes does not report the song's extension (to iTunes, they are songs, not files, so it - iTunes - doesn't care about the extensions in the user interface) so the only way to check the extension is to look in the iTunes Music folder and find the actual files.

Definitely. Patrick needs to add the .m4a extension, as well as .asf which also doesn't work via drag-and-drop.

I will add .m4a to the list of file extensions that the OOo code recognizes as movie and sound files in the next test patch.
