Hello Guys,


I'm working on this Mobile video and camera project on my Nokia 6300, but I'm facing this problem

videoControl=(VideoControl)(midlet.MyPlayerControl.CapturePlayer.getControl("javax.microedition.media.control.VideoControl"));
recControl=(RecordControl)midlet.MyPlayerControl.CapturePlayer.getControl("javax.microedition.media.control.RecordControl");

Where VideoControl is used to view the video Capture and to take snapShots by the

videoControl.getSnapshot(null);

x method

where as the recControl is used to record video, now in the emulator everything works fine, but on my 6300 device the recording goes well, bbut snapShots gives me a null pointer exception, I dont get it.

Can anyOne help plz.
Thnx Guys

Hi,

have you tried simply using:

getControl("VideoControl")

instead of

getControl("javax.microedition.media.control.VideoControl")

?

thnx for the reply, but anyway thats not the soln, coz the video capture already appears on the screen!!!!, the problem is in capturing snapShots, something goes wrong

I got it , the return value of the videoControl.getSnapshot(null);
returns null each time it is invoked in my device, but it works well in the emualtor. so any suggestions guys?

Which capture locator are you using? You chould use "image" not "video" on Series 40 devices

Hi, I had the same problem. The error was that I called player.stop() before videoControl.getSnapshot(null). Works fine if you don't stop the player.

cheers, teric

Hello

Had the same problem before with a S40 3ed... try this

1. Use the locator "capture://image" ...

2. try this encoding: "enconding=image/jpg" (will not work on Wireless toolkit emulator... try s40 3ed emulator)

Anyway... you can know the allowed encodings by making a very simple midlet, run it and display the encodings

----
String s = System.getProperty("video.snapshot.encodings");
Form f=new Form("codificacion");
f.append(s);
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(f);
----

Try that... and let us know
