MediaPlayer exception in Windows7 64 bit

Question

I've recently purchased a 64bit Windows7 notebook and can't seem to get a basic MediaPlayer example working in Netbeans 6.9.1 using javaFx 1.3.1
Here's my code copied from the online example...
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaView;
Stage {
title: "MyApp"
scene: Scene {
width: 200
height: 200
content: [
MediaView {
preserveRatio: true
mediaPlayer: MediaPlayer {
autoPlay: true
media: Media {
source:
"file://c:/uploads/bunny.flv"; //http://sun.edgeboss.net/download/sun/media/1460825906/1460825906_2956241001_big-buck-bunny-640x360.flv"
It fails with the following stack trace:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: com.sun.media.jmcimpl.plugins.directshow.DShowEngine.ndsInit(I)Z

I've tried running it with local and remote media files - same result.
I've tried using 64 bit jdk1.6.0_23 and 32 bit jdk1.6.0_23 installations - same result.
This code runs fine on a 32 bit Vista notebook with jdk1.6.0_23 but the 64 bit notebook is new so its possible I don't have everything necessary installed; I just don't happen to know whats missing.. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

That occurred to me yes and I've been googling things like 'DirectShow installation' but can't find a decent link to something that will do an installation.. I've installed 64 bit codecs but no joy in getting the simple example to run. If anyone has a link to a simple direct show installation would be appreciated, thx.
