You really think calling a troll the only person left that is working on okular
(because all the others left due to user abuse) is a smart move?

No. Maybe you did not understand me, what i think it makes sense to me is
having exactly one PDF Movie Object (that is not actually a movie but a sound),
and then click on play on it in the first page and want it to keep playing for
the whole presentation, do you really think that doesn't make any sense?

Adding an option just because a consensus can not be agreed is a bare bones
solution, the smart thing to do is agree on a solution that makes everyone
happy. Also calling other people's opinion ridiculous is bad, you need to learn
respect here, because as far as i can see, i was respectuous with you, and if
the only way you have to show disagreement is rudeness and being non
respectful, that is bad.

> The okular bug forum reminds me of the bad old days of mplayer bug reporting.
This is not a forum.

On a side note i did the extra work of finding a computer with Windows intalled
and tried Adobe Reader there and i had to battle Adobe Reader multimedia
support until i found a video it could play (work you could have done when i
asked what Adobe Reader did, but you prefered to get aggresive) and Adobe
Reader stops the current movie being played when changing to a different page,
so i consider this a valid bug.

I was really decided to work on a bugfix, sadly the possibilities have
decreased after reading your answer, don't feel motivated anymore.
