Embedded movies, animations in beamer and article document class

Question

I would like to use embedded animations and videos in my presentation which has the beamer document class. As far as I am concerned there are two packages for doing this media9 and movie15; however, I could not manage to have the PDF reader on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS 64-bit play the embedded videos or animations. Although I could see that the video is attached and there is an interactive pin symbol on the page and it can be clicked upon, when that button was clicked it launched the video on a separate window and application which is not what I want. So far I have tried Okular, Adobe Reader, Evince and Qpdfviewer, but none of them were able to play the embedded videos without launching a separate window. The minimal working example is as follows:

\documentclass[12pt,landscape]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,letterpaper}
\usepackage{media9}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
Whispering-gallery mode in a quarter circle:
\includemedia[
  width=0.4\linewidth,
  height=0.3\linewidth,
  activate=pageopen,
  addresource=Circle-m-increase3.mp4,
  flashvars={source=Circle-m-increase3.mp4}
]{}{StrobeMediaPlayback.swf}
\end{document}

Answer 1

The code bellow works fine for me. Note the beamer method.

\documentclass[12pt]{beamer}
\geometry{verbose,letterpaper}
\usepackage{multimedia}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
 \begin{frame}{Movie test}
  Whispering-gallery mode in a quarter circle:
  \movie[height=6cm, width=6cm, showcontrols, poster]
  {}{Circle-m-increase3.mp4}
 \end{frame}
\end{document}

Hope it works for you too. :)
