I am having issues playing .mp4 video in Java Springboot. The exception I am getting is "MediaException: UNKNOWN : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player! : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!".
Here is my code
import javafx.application.Application;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaView;
import javafx.embed.swing.JFXPanel;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.URL;
@Controller
public class VideoPlayer{
@GetMapping("/playVideo")
public String playVideo(Model model) {
try {
String videoFile = "src/main/resources/movies/IMG_0055.mp4"; // Replace with the actual path to your MOV file
// Initialize JavaFX toolkit (needed for MediaPlayer)
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
// Create a media object
Media media = new Media(new URL("file:" + videoFile).toExternalForm());
// Create a media player
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
mediaPlayer.setAutoPlay(true);
// Create a media view
MediaView mediaView = new MediaView(mediaPlayer);
// Set up the JavaFXPanel for video playback
JFXPanel fxPanel = new JFXPanel();
fxPanel.setScene(new javafx.scene.Scene(new javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane(mediaView)));
// Set up the JFrame
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Video Player");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(800, 600);
frame.setContentPane(fxPanel);
// Display the JFrame
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
model.addAttribute("error", "Error playing video: " + e.getMessage());
}
return "video";
}
}
I imported Media, Media View and Media Player. I did not import javafx.media library since it is no longer used. I instead imported javafx.scene.media.Media. Could you help me why this may be an error.
