JMF video player

Has somebody an example of an xlet that can play a video (mpeg-2) with jmf player?
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I'm not exactly a MHP-guru :-) but I can point out something you can use as an example of a JMF player:
you can download the JavaTV Reference Implementation from:
http://wwws.sun.com/software/communitysource/javatv/download.html
(follow the instruction for installation)
there you can find also a few sample xlets.
This jTV-RI is actually missing the MPEG2 videos (and hence it won't present anything), but they are referenced by the code, so I tried to build a directory-tree corresponding to those ref's. Then I made up this archive with a bunch of padding videos, just to make it show something; you can find the videos (together with a BAT script) at
http://gfcyb.org/videos_for_JavaTV-RI.zip
after download, put all (=3) the files in the JavaTV-RI subdirectory:
samples/tv/
and run the batch script: if anything is well-done, you can select any channel and view a mpeg2 clip.
NOTE: this video archive will be available till August 2003 (afterward it could be removed).
bye
GF

JMF Video Player Frame Rate comes down to zero

Hi
I am working on video Player using jmf. I am playing .mov file in the Applet. The appled have been signed and this part is working fine.
I am able to get the video from server to the client using signed applet. But the problem now i am facing is that after few seconds of video download the frame rate and bit rate both comes down to Zero and the movie stops playing. I am using .mov extension with approximately 2-8 MB size of video.
As i feels problem is coming with the http protocol. Because while playing the local video file with the same code it is performing well.

Jmf video fps problem

Hi to all,
I'm developing a program that takes frames from a video, which are currently working on a jmf player object, and display them with jogl in a GLJPanel. the video is 30 fps. But my display function is called 20 times per second. Therefore I'm loosing some of the frames and video cannot be seen smoothly. I guess that the problem is due to the jmf player's frame rate, because it is the only thing that triggers jogl display function. What I want to know is if there is a way of displaying a 30 fps jmf video by jogl bindings and if yes how? I'm taking the current frame and displaying it as a texture within the display function. Is it ok for my application?
I will be glad if anyone can help me..Thank you very much.

Two things you should know:
1) You can't play ANYTHING in AE. It's not an editing application, and it doesn't work like one... as in, "push the spacebar and video plays". Nope. You have to do a RAM Preview by hitting the zero key on the numeric keypad.
2) You'll save yourself days of frustration and anger by learning the basics, which can be found here:

Issues with basic video player. Help?

Hi all, I've been working on making an extremely basic video player for my java class at school and everytime I run it I'm getting an error. I assume it's because of the video format. I've tried avi and mpg to no avail.
The avi error is...

}This is the first time I've made anything that plays video and I took the basis for my code from this thread http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5269983&tstart=30 so for all I know it could be a problem with the code and not the video file.
Also, the page of supported formats would probably answer my question ( http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html ) except I don't know much about video formats and that table doesn't make much sense to me. Any help or a point in the right direction is awesome. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I am new to JMF and I can not get an avi or a .mov to play. In fact, I can't find any movie file that actually does work. I am trying VERY simple code just to get this to work. Baby steps:
javax.media.Player player = javax.media.Manager.createPlayer(ml);
          player.realize();
          java.awt.Component mediaViewer = player.getVisualComponent();ml is a MediaLocator from an url.
I get the error:

Newbee : jmf video in full java ?

Hello,
I am trying to develop with the jmf technology. I tried to see quicktime movies with jmstudio. Failure. Of course I can see these movies with VLC or mplayer.
Then I tried with the jmf for linux, so some of quicktime movies are seable with jmstudio.
So my questions are :
- Is it possible to have a full java video player? If yes : which file format and which CODEC ?
- Do you tools to convert movies into this format ? (I try ffmpeg but without success)
- Is it possible to select the video track or the sound track in this kind of movie ?
- Is it possible to have the size (200 * 300) of the video track ?
Thanks for any pointers
PHL.

You might want to start by posting question in the correct subforum...
This forum is for mobile application development.
If this IS the correct forum, I suggest you take a look at the available mobile api's. JMF, Swing and I realy have no clue what Java Server Faces would have to do with video playback...

JMF - video + subtitles ?

hello everyone,
I know the JMF supports only video and audio formats. How can a .srt file (subtitles) or something similar be viewed together with video ? I know SLIM can do the job (viewing both) but I don't think it's capable for media player development. So, any suggestions?
thank you.

An image changing to FLV Video Player in AJAX Update Panel

Hi,
I'm trying to design part of a website can seen as video gallery. I have videos related to subcategories; and subcategories that related to categories.
I was using popups but now want to change it. Simply, firstly there are images and descriptions(in an update panel) of videos on page. After clicking thumbnail, the region includes thumbnail and description wil be changed to FLV video player.
Outside of updatepanel player is working good. but when i move it into updatepanel; doesn't working in IE. Because JS code (AC_FL_RunContent(.....)) is not working in updatepanel. Tried another script (like alert('hello!');), it's working. I think i have problem with the function named AC_FL_RunContent(...). It's working as i want, if open page with Firefox.
Looked for this in google. Visited many pages, but never find a solution for this nor source of problem. I hope someone can help me

hey guys... so all my application does is... it has a video player... and when i initiate the component it loads the flv from a different server, and plays the video... now while its playing the video i have a button called capture, and whe you hit that button the user is able to take snapshots of the current frame.
this seems to work perfectly locally, but as soon as i uploaded it to the server i get problems...

i've been doing some more research... and found a possible solution... where i could send the video thru a server proxy... but the only thing is doing that might slow down my process... i was wondering if there was any other solution to this problem??

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

How can i make RealPlayer the default video player?

I use safari 3.0.4
When it accesses sites containing video, it plays it in Flash (eg YouTube)
How do I get safari to use realplayer instead? (Even my Firefox 2.0 uses flash) (I have RP 10)
I am teaching a course in media literacy and show some of the uploaded old tv commercials to my students. i want to show next year's class some of the same commercials, so i want to save the ones I find this year while they're available.
At school, I work on a pc, and it plays video back in RealPlayer which gives me a 'download' option, so i can save these commercials.
But when i find good clips at home, on my mac, all I can do is note the urls, then do it all again at school to get to them to download. it would be much easier if i could download them as I find them, then take them to school on my portable drive.
any solution?
Thank you
Elizabeth

RealPlayer v. 11.0.0 (may still be in beta) now includes that Downloader - a very useful item!
It is a free download but they will ask for money in July. Must be why they call it RealPlayer Plus!
You can get it here:
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
I have had it for a couple of weeks and have had no problems.
As for making RealPlayer the default video player, IMO that is not a good idea. There is a lot of stuff out there that RealPlayer would not be able to handle.
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:

The new RealPlayer Plus (v.11) is still in beta and therefore free, but works well on Tiger. It includes a download function, and you can get that here:
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

How can I remove a video player?

Hi, awhile back I installed a video player, that I can't even remember the name of now, and it plays all my video's being watched over the web with this player now, it does give me the option to use original player, but you have to be lightning quick to click it and even then sometimes it won't. Its driving me nuts! I hate it! Can anyone tell me please how to maybe find this program and delete it. And what is the default video player on the Mac supposed to be?
Thanks so much.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins
Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
iPhotoPhotocast
Java
QuickTime
Shockwave Flash
WebKit built-in PDF

The video player is in the connection error state.

Flash cS 5.5 / Win 7. Inserting video into movieclip both with 'import video' wizard and via component. FLV that plays fine on a number of different servers. On opening (after gathering metadata) the message 'The video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found.' Firstly I am treating this as a progressive download, not streaming. Second this plays fine locally, it's only when I upload to a server it fails. The FLV is in a folder directly below the SWF. Result is same with FLV in same location as SWF. MIME type set to vide/x-flv although I've also set it to applicaiton/octet-stream.
This is a very basic requirement to call the video directly from Flash, the default parameters of the component are adequate and work locally. However the video does not play. Is it fair to assume this functionality simply does not work correctly within Flash CS5.5? I'm unclear as to what >less< I could be doing with this file.

You can place the Flash and any Flash assets in any folder location that you want.... provided that you understand how Flash assets (like .flv files) are "Pathed" or located by the .swf that is calling them. The underlying principle is that the Flash assets need to be pathed relative to the Web page that the .swf is located on, NOT the actual, physical location of the .swf.
For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

So you can place the .flv wherever you want, but you can't just go and move the .flv without also correcting the path to the .flv inside the .swf.
So be sure that you have the .flv in the correct subfolder before you do any insert of the Flash player.
Also I'm not a great fan of requiring my viewers use the latest and greatest (and most bug filled version) of any pluggin or software for that matter.
<param name="swfversion" value="11.0.0.0" />
I refer NOT to upgrade to ver 11 so will not be seeing your Flash anytime soon. If you want to appeal to a large audience, change that to version 10.
