Javax.media.*

what are the packages or SDK or any other thing that is needed to be installed for rumming this package files
i need to run program importing this package.
any help on it

For JMF (Java Media Framework) stuff:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/index.html
For JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) stuff:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/index.html
Yeah, it's pretty bad that the Sun website makes it so tough to find these pages or find more info on these packages. They make it fairly easy to find the common things like the JDK, but not relatively important items as the above, too.

Javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player

Hi all,
I've installed JMF,
and tried the sample 'SimplePlayerApplet.java' from Sun:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/samples/
(see the code below)
However, everytime I run the applet,
I get the message:
"javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player"
Can anybody help?

First and most obvious question is, what are you trying to have the applet view? The NoPlayerException generally means that JMF couldn't figure out how to display what you're telling it to display, be that an unknown codec, or unknown media type.

Creating a text with transparent background using javax.media.j3d.Raster

Hi, I'm trying to display a text in Java3D using the Raster but I'm not sure to make the background of the text transparent. Does anyone have any ideas.
Here's my code for creating the Raster image:
private javax.media.j3d.Raster getRaster(String str, boolean rotate) {
// Create an empty raster.
javax.media.j3d.Raster raster = new javax.media.j3d.Raster();
// Get a font metrics.
Font font = new Font("Times", Font.PLAIN, 12);
FontMetrics fm = getFontMetrics(font);
// Calculate the raster size.
int width = SwingUtilities.computeStringWidth(fm, str) + 6;
int height = 18;
// Create an BufferedImage.
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(width,
height,
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_BGR);
// Draw the input string on the BufferedImage.
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) image.getGraphics();
g2d.setFont(font);
g2d.setColor(Color.WHITE);
g2d.drawString(str, 3, 14);
// Set the BufferedImage to the raster.
raster.setImage(new ImageComponent2D(ImageComponent2D.FORMAT_RGB, image));
raster.setSize(width, height);
raster.setType(javax.media.j3d.Raster.RASTER_COLOR);
raster.setCapability(javax.media.j3d.Raster.ALLOW_IMAGE_WRITE);
raster.setCapability(javax.media.j3d.Raster.ALLOW_SIZE_READ);
return raster;
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
If you create a new transparent imge you can put a color fill layer below the text layer and either turn off the layer visiblity for the color fill layer (eye beside the color fill layer in the layers panel)
or delete the color fill layer before saving the file as a transparent png.

Problem to find the javax.media.jai package

hi everyone!! it's not the first time I ask this question, but i have troubles to find javax.media.jai..
I've downloaded the jai 1.1 and everything is fine... However, I have to use classes from the javax.media.jai... I made the import, and it doesn't find it, as if it doesn't exist... Someone tells me that the jai contained it, so why doesn't it find it??
i'm using a java version 1.2.. do you think that is the problem?
thanks a lot, and sorry for my bad english!!
Anne.

thanks a lot!!! it helps me but doesn't resolve my problem!! ;o)
you may be right,, it's a classpath problem. well i work under unix, so i have to give my classpath by the command setenv CLASSPATH ...
i didn't find the jai_core.jar in my JAI 1.1, I have only the BugFixes.jar...
I tried to download the latest version of JAI, and unfortunately i have a new problem with the .tar, i don't manage to "open" it... the command
tar xvf [archieve file] gives me some errors!!
so I don't know what I'm gonna do.... I think I'm going to ask someone to send me the package, or the specific classes I need, it would be more easier!!
Thanks
Anne.

JAI installation problem, javax/media/jai/util/ not found?

Hi,
I am trying to use the JAI instllation in executing a class. However, I keep getting the following message.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/jai/util/
I have added some jars from the JAI instllation to my classpath. However, I still get this message.
What jar file do I have to reference so I do not get this message?

Even more strange, I deploy it under Unix, there is no problem. The previous one is deployed
under Windowns XP. Anyone has same experience?

Javax.media.* not found!!

when i compile the a program, i get an error message "javax.media.*"not found! So, can any one tell me how to import this class to my compiler? i am use netbean 3.6. Thank u

Two- Options
1- This configuration is for Net Beans 3.5.1, I m not sure with 3.6
Go to
Tools > Options
In
Options
-----Building
----------------Compiler Types
----------------------------------External Compilation
In External Compilation select "Expert" Tab, In the class path field enter all the class related to the JMF, or if u r using Windows OS, just enter %CLASSPATH% OR -CLASSPATH.
Do the same in Internal Compilation.
And now in
-------Building
-----------------Debugging And Executing
--------------------------------------------Execution Types
Do the Same as in Compiler Types
2----- 2nd one is only the way if above does not work.
->Uninstall the NetBeans
->Install the JMF first
->Make sure the classpath environment variable is updated with JMF classes
->Now Reinstall this NetBeans
But I hope 1st will work.
I also have faced that problem, and recovered it by both of above ways

Import javax.media.* is not working

Hi,
I'm new to java and i was trying to create a media player using the javax.media package from the JMF. I installed it using the windows setup and it seemed to install correctly. Testing it with the java.sun.com applet tester worked. The media player is also working...
The only problem is that when i import javax.medis.* it gives me a compiler error:
package javax.media does not exist
my code is as follows:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.media.*;
public class PlayerApplet extends Applet {
     Player player = null;
public void init() {
     setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
     String mediaFile = getParameter( "FILE" );
     try{
          URL mediaURL = new URL( getDocumentBase(), mediaFile );
          player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer( mediaURL );
          if (player.getVisualComponent() != null)
          add("Center", player.getVisualComponent());
          if (player.getControlPanelComponent() != null)
          add("South", player.getControlPanelComponent());
     catch (Exception e){
          System.err.println( "Got exception " + e );
public void start() {
     player.start();
public void stop() {
     player.stop();
     player.deallocate();
public void destroy() {
     player.close();
} Could someone please help me out here... i've tried all the few probable solutions... but to no avail...

Well changing the classpath to the correct one still didn't work.... but i still found the solution.
The Developer Environment that i use is JCreator and it seems it ignores the classpath and has its own settings for the class path... changing this also didn't work.
What worked was copying the Jar files from the JMF2.1.1e installed location into the path of the original classpath

"package javax.media does not exist" error message. Help!

May be this is a rookie problem, but I can't solve it by myself.
I'm using JBuider X to develop a GUI, and need to capture an image, from a web cam or so, and to save it in DB.
The problem is: I found some source codes wich are supposed to do this... but they references (imports) an javax.media class... and the JBuilder says that this class doesn't exists.
Can anyone help me?
Where can I get the class, and how I inform to JBuider where it's located?
Thanks in advance.
Ernesto Becker

Project tab, "Build", Libraries -> import the JMF libraries. Something like that.

Javax.media.rtp.InvalidSessionAddressException:

Hi:
Using SIP Communicator Java client on Linux. (Redhat Enterprise 4 - WS).
Works fine when on local lan. I'm testing the client over VPN (Nortel/Apani Netlock client). It brings up an interface in the form:
nlv0: 10.61.x.x address
This address is returned as the selected local interface that the SIP client is attempting to bind the RTP Port to.
The specific error being received is:
Local Data Address Does not belong to any of this hosts local interfaces.
Does JMF not support VPN tunnels? if so how? What is the javax.media.rtp class code doing to determine that the VPN address brought up doesn't belong to my local machine?
Anyone know what to do here?
thx.
Duff

A workaround.
I set the address of my machine in my /etc/hosts to the machine name of the IP address that was assigned to the nlv0 address.
SIP client comes up fine now!
Bonus.

thank you.
jmaxosft

Try:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html
Yous should choose cross-platform java and in zip file you have
in directory :src\share\ packet source for javax, copy it to your
project directory and that's it...
I hope it helps...

Javax.media.jai in applets

I would like to use some features of javax.media.jai in developing some applets, but from what I read I get the impression that most average users' JRE would not have this installed. Is this correct?

Sidereal wrote:
1. Would this greatly increase load time?That depends on the size of the Jar's, and the speed of the server and client connections (or whatever connection between them is the slowest).
If you deploy the applet in a 1.6.0_10+ JRE, it can be deployed using web start (while still embedded in the web page). Deploying using web start can offer a number of advantages, such as..
- Better control of class caching, and even 'lazy' deployment of classes and resources. This latter ability ensures the applet appears on-screen quickly, while downloading other components as needed.
- Sand-boxed access to the local file-system.
- The ability to offer different security levels for different application components. (E.G. the JAI Jar's might already be digitally signed with a valid certificate, simplifying matters.)
Sidereal wrote:
2. Can you point me to any good tutorials on setting this up?As an aside, it would help if you had not ignored my earlier question. It was not merely curiosity. If you had answered my question, I might have been able to determine some of the constraints of this deployment. As it is, I am not about to enter a lengthy discussion (or lots of links) covering all the possibilities, so how about you narrow it down by answering my earlier question? (<- as opposed to that one, which was purely rhetorical.)
And please be as specific as possible. What I am looking for is like the 'feature list' you might see on the box of commercial software. The things that are supposed to make the person think "I +need+ that!".
