Use JMF to play movie in app

Hey,
I have a project in which I want to play a movie (this works already).
But it now only plays the movie, I also want to see my app.
So i want to have a movie playing and at the same time want to go through my application.

Go look at this example.

Question - applet using JMF for playing .mov

I develop an applet using JMF for playing .mov. It works fine, and the applet starts normally. Even my applet works fine from other computers in our LAN (The applet runs ok without JMF). But only on one PC it doesn't work and I get the following message
Failed to configure: com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@a7c45e

Anyone can help me?
Thanks for your time

It started to work but I had to install fobs4jmf on the client computer.
And put .dll to windows/system33 directory. But how can I play video using applet in browser without installing any software on the client machine?

Re: Use JMF to play mpg file

Hi
You have to write your platform for targeted answere. But if I got the same problem when I tried to run my jpg on not system where jmf was not (properly) installed. It is quite possible your jmf to lack its native libs (on Win, DirectShow is used for mpg playing).
Possible solution: reinstall and make shure that dlls are in your win dir.
If on win, try playing your files with MediaPlayer (MS).

How to use JMF to play the video data in a array(not in a local file)?

dear all:
I am a newer to JMF.
Now My program has a thread which is always inputing mpg video data into a static array, so I want to wrap this array as a DataSource, then let the player play the video.
But I don't know how to wrap that as a DataSource, What I know is just play a media file.
So could any guy give me some advice??
Really appreciate your help!
Thanks

I have never tried doing what you are soing so I am just thinking aloud. I think that using datamerge for this is going to assign the same ID to the fields, which is why the checkboxes are filling when selecting one of them. Open the PDF in Acrobat to check it though.
Another thought. Are you merging to a new document or direct to PDF? If going direct to PDF, try creating the merge document first. If that doesn't work, I think it will be the field IDs being also replicated. If so, then the only course of action would be either manually changing them in Acrobat, or an ID script and or an Acrobat script. Neither of which I have heard of. But if they do have the same IDs, then I would inquire in both the ID scripting forum and the Acrobat forum.
Good luck. Interesting use of datamerge. I hope you find a suitable answer.

Why can't I use Lion to play movies and music vita remote?

I Snow Leopard it was pussible to ge acces to all the movies, music etc. vith the remotecontrol. Why cant I do that in Lion?

You need to make Front Row work on Lion.
Have a look here for how to do it:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/07/26/how-to-make-front-row-work-in-lion/
This scenario is not supported by Apple or whomever. If something goes wrong .. well, a warning should be included if we point at such "custom" solutions.
Also this will not help him in iTunes Library content in FrontRow... iTunes 10.4.x uses a Library format that FrontRow in Lion can't read any longer.. and if he has a ipod/iphone/ipad he surely can not afford to stick life-long with iTunes 10.3..
to me this is NO solution but full of unknown future hickups, just saying. FrontRow is gone, the sooner one gets used to it, the better. What if 10.7.2 will break this "workaround" ? and what with future iTunes ? .. you see what I want to say..

Some questions while using JMF play mpeg-1 stream media?

I use Helix server to provide unicast, and use JMF to play the stream media. But the JMF only play the audio stream transferred by rtp. I have used video palyer�s getVisualComponent() method to get Visual component and added it into the frame. But I get a pink screen. So I think some thing wrong with the video player.
Who can give me an answer?
1. Whether JMF can play mpeg-1 video stream media?( Audio can be heard. Video stream comes to my computer but can�t be displayed.)
2. Which method it should use to synchronize video stream and audio stream?
BTW: In JMF, when the RTSP player�s start() method is invoked, the player creates players by the stream�s track numbers. Video stream and audio stream have different players.

Try posting your question under the Java Media Framework forum instead.
You'll get much better responses if you ask the right people !

Thanks jonmac22

Hi Everyone,
hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
Here's how to do it:
1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
Enjoy!

How to play movie file using java tv

hi,
i am trying to play movie file(.mov or mpg or mp3) using java tv in linux plotform and also using jmf jar.
problem is while running appear black screen and getting exception or errors like
Unable to handle format: ima4, 480x320, FrameRate=25.0, Length=460800 0 extra bytes
Thank in adv

Well...
I don't know how to load and play a video with JavaTV. But I've seen some posts telling that .mpg files aren't accepted by the JavaTV.
Some people said that I had to use .avi files and these .avi files, if they were converted from a .mpg file, must had been converted with the Cinepack technology, but I don't know how to do this.
If you find out how to load and play a video, I'd like to know, please send me an email or access my page and post there in the comments, so I can continue doing my application with a video.

Hello jackrayan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I can imagine the frustration you're experiencing with your iPad's display not responding like it used to. I would feel the same way!
I'd like you to follow the troubleshooting steps in the following article:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the Service FAQ for your product.
Take care,

When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

Playing a wav file (byte array) using JMF

Hi,
I want to play a wav file in form of a byte array using JMF. I have 2 classes, MyDataSource and MyPullBufferStream. MyDataSource class is inherited from PullStreamDataSource, and MyPullBufferStream is derived from PullBufferStream.

Error Playing .wav file on RHEL 4 using JMF

Hi,
We are using jmf api to play wav files on our application deployed on rhel version 4. But we are receiving the following error
**"Cannot find a Processor for: myfolder/myAudio.wav" --->
this exception is comming from javax.media.Manager
throw new NoProcessorException("Cannot find a Processor for: " + source);"**.
Any ideas what could be issue with this, am I missing some drivers/processor for wav files? I did a default jmf studio installation.
Thanks and Regards

If we take a look at the supported formats page...
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html]
And the WAV file is supported by the cross-platform pack, AKA, jmf.jar.
If you're unable to open a WAV file, I'd say it's most likely because you don't have JMF.jar on your library path. You can fix that at runtime with the switch -djava.library.path=<whatever>
That's what I would say the issue is.

Use JMF to play movie in app
