Playback Video (format 3GPP) on j2me midp 2.0

Question

Hi all,
By now all recent mobile phone should playback many video type included le format 3GP.
But I can't playback any Video from J2me midp 2.0 API.
Are there someone here who know a solution independent of device to playback video on j2me midp platform ?
Thank you,
Tien

Something like this:
private void playFile( String filename ) {
  try
    InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename);
    m_player = Manager.createPlayer(is, "video/3gpp");
    m_player.prefetch();
    m_player.start();
  catch (Exception ex)
    System.out.println(ex.toString());
} Also in MIDP 2 check VolumeControl
If your mobile support JSR-135:
try {
     Player p = Manager.createPlayer("http://abc.mpg");
     p.realize();
     VideoControl vc;
     if ((vc = (VideoControl)p.getControl("VideoControl")) != null)
         add((Component)vc.initDisplayMode(vc.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, null));
     p.start();
} catch (MediaException pe) {
} catch (IOException ioe) {
}In this case you also can
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename);
Player p = Manager.createPlayer(is, "video/3gpp");
