Impress - Better control over video

Impress is deficient in terms of allowing the user to control the behaviour of embedded video. A reasonable starting point is:
Start on Click / Automatically
Show/hide controls
no crop / crop video start:end
Play once / loop

I too would like to see some better video controls in LibreOffice. I am a music appreciation professor and I spend a great deal of my lectures playing, pausing, rewinding, and replaying videos and having my class listen and respond. I would much prefer to use LibreOffice to do my lessons, but because that is such a critical application to my use I am forced to use Google Drive presentations with embedded YouTube videos - a situation which is dependent on too many things outside my control for my liking.
