[Tex/LaTex] Movie15 \includemovie problem : file attached blank icon

beamermovie15

I am using movie15 package to embed a mpeg video in my beamer presentation.

My viewer is qpdfpresenterconsole (https://launchpad.net/~lissyx/+archive/ubuntu/qpdfpresenterconsole-ppa). It enables viewing embedded videos under Linux Ubuntu (which is not the case of evince…).

The problem is that the output pdf (compiled with PdfLaTeX) contains a "blank icon" representing the file attached.

I found no way to remove this picture, even if I try to use poster option or even an image as text option.

\frame[c,plain]
{
    \begin{center}
    \includemovie[text={\includegraphics[width=.7\textwidth]{picture.jpg}}]{.8\textwidth}{.8\textheight}{video.mpeg}
    \end{center}
}

Maybe I use a wrong combination of options but whatever option I use, the output looks always the same (we can see the image in the background):
Pdf output with the image on the background

Have you ever faced the same problem ? Any suggestions to get rid of this annoying icon ?

Best Answer

Command option attach=false might help.

[Tex/LaTex] movie15.sty \includemovie beamer: show the movie at the same time as an item in an item list

A community wiki answer, originally edited by the OP into his question: here's a working piece of code to show how to get it done. Not the way originally wanted, but at least the video is displayed on the slide as desired.

The first slide is the fail, and the second slide is the good one. There may be a more elegant solution to this, so feel free to comment or to add another answer.
