I am trying to write a small app to play videos using JMF 2.1.1e in Netbeans 6.8, I have cross-posted it at Sun Java Forums and Netbeans Users forum (link can't be added since I am a new user). The code is as follows,
package demo;
import java.io.File;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.media.Player;
import org.jdesktop.application.Application;
import org.jdesktop.application.SingleFrameApplication;
/**
* The main class of the application.
*/
public class DemoApp extends SingleFrameApplication {
static URL mediaURL;
static Player mediaPlayer;
/**
* At startup create and show the main frame of the application.
*/
@Override protected void startup() {
show(new WindowFrame(this));
}
/**
* This method is to initialize the specified window by injecting resources.
* Windows shown in our application come fully initialized from the GUI
* builder, so this additional configuration is not needed.
*/
@Override protected void configureWindow(java.awt.Window root) {
}
/**
* A convenient static getter for the application instance.
* @return the instance of DemoApp
*/
public static DemoApp getApplication() {
return Application.getInstance(DemoApp.class);
}
/**
* Main method launching the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
mediaURL = (new File("<filename>")).toURL();
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(DemoApp.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
launch(DemoApp.class, args);
}
}
The second file is,
/*

* and open the template in the editor.

/*
* WindowFrame.java

The video works with JMF, I have played it using JMFStudio and have also run it using some sample programs available online. The filepath has been blanked out here, but that has been verified too. Upon execution, I can see the controller for the video and can also see that it is playing (the start method has been called). Only the visual component isn't being drawn/redrawn/painted/repainted correctly.
Any suggestions/help will be appreciated, thanks!
PS: Kindly ignore the fact that I have used a static variable when I could have avoided it. This was a quick hash to test JMF and SWT, so that I can go onto actually write the application.
