Bug ID: 510030
Summary: Video in presentation mode also plays in background
document with sound
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version First 25.08.1
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
Reporter: smooth.soup2699 at straysong.co.uk
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 185346

PDF file that shows the issue
SUMMARY
A PDF file with a video included (set to autostart) plays well in the normal
view. In presentation view however, the normal view remains open in the
background. Videos play in both views _almost_ simultaneously, causing an
unpleasant echo. (For context, I am typically playing music videos like this).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF file with embedded videos set to autostart
2. Start presentation mode
3. Click through to the slide with the video
OBSERVED RESULT
Video with sound is played twice with a slight delay, which sounds unpleasant
in many scenarios.
EXPECTED RESULT
Sound is played once only

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have attached a PDF that can replicate the issue with a small video (needs to
be in the same directory as the PDF). The click should just be a single click,
but in presentation mode it sounds like a double click. I've also attached the
tex file used to create the PDF.
If someone points me to roughly the right area of the code base I'd be happy to
have a go at investigating/fixing it, although my C++ isn't great.
