hi ,
please post ur code here.
are u prefetch the player before creating it.
media format is not the issue else u got the unsupported media exception.
are u test ur application on other devices. is the same issue occurs with all other ones or this is only with 5800. well as u know that 5800 is latest device so there is no more known issues with this.

thanks,

Hi Arun,

For the playing a video this is format:
InputStream is=getClass().getResourceAsStream(file);
Player player=null;
player=Manager.createPlayer(is,"video/mpeg");
player.prefetch(); // prefetch
player.realize(); // realize
player.start(); // and start


Thanks

First
The Prefetch error comes suddenly and there is no idea when and at what time it may come up
i am posting the code of my player

Player code the start method is called by a thread



public void start()
{
try {
/*
*if there is an adv coming suddenly then close the running player and file connection to check
*/
if(player != null && fconn!=null)
stop();
//filepath=System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.memorycard");
String rootfile = filepath+adv.File;
graphics.setColor(12,255,255);
graphics.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
graphics.setColor(0);
graphics.drawString(adv.File,0,30,0);
repaint();

//Opening the file connection

fconn=(FileConnection)Connector.open(rootfile,Connector.READ);
graphics.setColor(0);
graphics.drawString(fconn.exists()+"",0,50,0);
repaint();
// Checking the File Connection
if(fconn.exists())
{
ins=fconn.openInputStream();
}
// Creating the appropiate player

if(array[index].endsWith(".3gp"))
player = Manager.createPlayer(ins,"video/3gpp");
if(array[index].endsWith(".mp4"))
player = Manager.createPlayer(ins,"video/mp4");
// Adding the playerlistener
player.addPlayerListener(this);
// relaising the player
player.realize();
if(player.getState()==Player.REALIZED)
{
player.prefetch();
}

// get the video control

control = (VideoControl)player.getControl("VideoControl");
if (control != null)
{
control.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO,this);
control.setDisplaySize(this.getWidth(),this.getHeight());
control.setVisible(true);
}

// start the player

player.start();


}
catch(Exception e) {
stop();
Alert erro = new Alert("Erro",e.getMessage(),null,AlertType.ERROR);
display.setCurrent(erro);
}finally{
try{
ins.close();
fconn.close();
}catch(Exception ex)
{}


}
}

public void stop() {
if(player != null && fconn!=null)
{

try{
player.removePlayerListener(this);
player.stop();
player.deallocate();
player.close();

player=null;
if(ins!=null)
ins.close();
if(fconn!=null)
fconn.close();

ins=null;

fconn=null;

graphics.drawString("player && fconn closed",0,100,0);
repaint();
}catch(Exception ex)
{
graphics.setColor(0);
graphics.drawString("player && fconn closed",20,50,0);
repaint();
}
}
}

public void playerUpdate(Player p, String s, Object o) {
status = s;

if(p.getState() == Player.STARTED)
{
int width = control.getDisplayWidth();
int height = control.getDisplayHeight();
control.setDisplayLocation((getWidth() - width)/2,(getHeight() - height)/2);
control.setVisible(true);
status = s + ": DW=" + width + "-DH=" + height + "-SW=" + control.getSourceWidth() + "-SH=" + control.getSourceHeight();
}
if(s == PlayerListener.END_OF_MEDIA)
{
try
{
stop();
InformAllAdvComplete = true;
}
catch(Exception me) {
}
}
repaint();
}

shravan your code is correct same way it is done still the player crashes

Hi Arun,

For the playing a video this is format:
InputStream is=getClass().getResourceAsStream(file);
Player player=null;
player=Manager.createPlayer(is,"video/mpeg");
player.prefetch(); // prefetch
player.realize(); // realize
player.start(); // and start


Thanks

hi,
please check that what type of formats were supported by 5800.
try each format one by one.
play media from resource in place of filesystem for just testing.
may be player not found the file or not supported the format.

may be ur problem get solved.


thanks,

[arungupta_2jan]

in 5800
both 3gpp and mp4 are supported format..
if i place the media in the resources it will become very heavy
these are my questions anyway i will do that and i will inform about that

hi,
i was suggest u to put that file in resource just for testing purpose.
U can verify by doing this that whether it is the problem of 5800 or may be ur not getting correct file path.
