MediaPlayer MediaUnsupportedException with any kind of video under Linux

Hi folks,
I am trying to play back a video with the JavaFX MediaPlayer under Linux (OpenSuSE 11.2, x86_64) but get a com.sun.media.jmc.MediaUnsupportedException for any kind of file I tried: flv, mpg, ogg, ... gst-inspect (from gstreamer) lists all of the above media types as supported. Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be? Or how to get more information about the reasons of this problem?
We want to use JavaFX technology in a demonstrator at CeBIT.
Any help or comments appreciated.

Thanks, PhiLho, but I am rather sure it finds the file because when it doesn't it issues a different error message. I got my code from the JavaFX book, which is something like
source: "{__DIR__}flowers_720_1250.flv"

  • ITunes freezes when playing any kind of video

    Up until a little while ago I was able to use iTunes to stream movie trailers, watch video podcasts, and watch movies saved in my library.  For some reason now I am unable to.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Quicktime and iTunes, and I have even tried using older versions of both of these.
    I can play videos in Quicktime OK, but not in iTunes.
    The moment I hit "play", iTunes freezes.  This happens with ANY kind of video (ie. podcasts, streaming, trailers, local videos, etc.)
    Videos I used to once be able to play I cannot.
    I have synced some of the videos to my iphone and they play fine on it, so the format is correct.
    Any help would be great.

    I had this same problem s a lot of others after updating to the latest I Tunes version. I finally got a decent response back from Apple, which was hard to do. Here is what they told me. Maybe it will help you:

  • How do i get my speakers to work when i take any kind of video?

    How can i get my speakers to work when i take any kind of video?

    Yes definitely make sure you're not covering the mic, its at the bottom of the phone on the left next to the 30 pin, but if thats not the problem and you're still under warranty then definitely take it back to apple because it's probably a hardware issue and theyll gladly replace or fix it for you.

  • Audio Failure Only While Watching Any Kind of Video Online

         Both my internal audio unit and my external one (M-Audio Firewire 1814) are prone to this problem. After about a minute or so of watching any kind of video online, irrespective of website (YouTube, The Daily Show's Website, random embedded flash video, anything) or browser (Chrome, Safari), the sound starts to sort of disintegrate, stutter, and ultimately go out.
         If I am using the Firewire unit, restarting the the device fixes it. If I am using my laptop's built-in audio, the problem is fixed by plugging in headphones, or unplugging them if they were in in the first place.
         Note that this is not an issue with videos on my computer, only streaming online ones. I at first suspected it had to do with buffering and my computer not being able to handle the load, but even if I let a video fully buffer, I still experience this problem after a minute or so.
         Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    This is all most unfortunate...from what I read in your post you have covered everything that can be done at your end....something is damaged on the Logic Board it sounds like...as to how much it would cost only the people that end repairing will know after it is diagnosed....take it in...tell them what you have found and tried so far...maybe that will help narrow down the problem...
    Good Luck....

  • My ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds.  does not happen with any other streaming video service.

    my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds.  This does not happen with any other streaming video service.  I have restarted and rebooted already. 

    I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
    I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
    I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

  • I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

    I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes?  This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

    You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox on my laptop wont play any kind of video why?

    I have the latest version of firefox and all the plugins are up to date because I just checked, yet all of a sudden any kind of video, game or whatever that is that is bigger than a normal gif that wants to move and do things wont work. I get youtube saying an error occurred and cant get any other video to load from any place and games too. How do I fix this, how did it happen and how do I prevent it.

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
    1.Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

  • Any kind of video playback is choppy, eventually stops

    So a couple weeks ago I dropped my macbook flat, upside down, from about 3 feet up, on a wooden floor. I died a little inside. Since then, it has been acting up. Any kind of video playback (html5, flash, quicktime, etc.) is great at the beginning, but then gets choppy, and eventually just comes to a stop. The weirdest part about this, is that I can avoid this, ONLY if I constantly move the cursor around while the video is playing! You all probably think I'm an idiot, but I have done extensive testing on this, and its definitely the mouse movement (trackpad or bluetooth mouse, either way), that keeps the video playing smoothly. As well as the video playback, my computer will sometimes not wake up from sleep, and when I do an emergency shutdown (hold the power button down til it shuts off), and fire it back up, it tells me to do another emergency shutdown, and will continue to do so until i remove the battery, replace it, and start it up again.
    After this "behaviour" persisted for a few days, I did an erase and re-install of snow leopard (didn't make a difference), and I also removed/replaced my hard drive and ram, just for good measure.
    Please, can someone tell me what the heck is going on, and maybe give me an idea of how much this is gonna cost me to fix (as I am clearly out of warrantee)?
    Thanks so much,
    Bobby

  • Recently I've not been able to watch any kind of video on my iPad ie: music video, Netflix, YouTube, etc

    Recently I've noticed that I'm not able to watch any kind of video on my iPad.....youtube, music videos, netflix, news videos, etc.  I'll hit the play icon and then the pause button comes on and then quickly flips back to the play button. The video never starts. Everything else seems to be working fine. I'd like to know if anyone knows what causes this? Thanks.

    Not sure what causes this, but see if this fixes it. Close all apps and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My computer will no longer emit sound of any kind, music, video, warning, or otherwise

    I'm not sure how it happened, I was trying to play something on itunes when everything froze up and the music stopped. But the problem is not limited to itunes, i can't hear any sound of any kind from my computer. I have checked and the speakers for my computer are labeled as working completely fine, and the computer says that everything appears to be in working order. Except still no sound, whether its music, a video, or even warning sounds or start up sounds the computer naturally makes.

    Hi,
    Can you post back with the following.
    1.  The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.

  • How to prevent Firefox from playing any kind of video in the browser instead of promting a download dialog

    When i klick on a link for a video files (for example a .wmv File) it opens a new tab and starts playing it, instead of giving me a dialog what it should do with the File so that i can either download it or play it with an external player. I already set all the video files in the "options -> Applications" screen to "Always ask", but instead of asking me, it's simply playing them.
    What can i do to prevent firefox from playing videos?

    Tahnks, but that doesn't help me at all. As i said, i already changed all to "Always Ask", when i Filter for media i get 5 results where each says "Always Ask", so thats not the cause...
    I realized yesterday that this does not happen with all formats, it happens with wmv but not with avi... but still dont know y -.-
