Unable to play video

[hiteshrawat]

Hi all,

I'm trying to run the following code, however its gives me nothing. Other than the video, everything's running fine. Please check through the code if you find anything going wrong.


else if (c == Demo)
{

form1.deleteAll();
form1.setTitle("Demo Video");
form1.removeCommand(Next1);
form1.removeCommand(Exit);


playFromResource();



}


public void playFromResource()

{

try

{

InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/Video/Hitesh.mpeg");
if (in != null)
{
mPlayer = Manager.createPlayer(in, "video/mpeg");
}else
{
alert = new Alert("Alert", "No video", null, null);
display.setCurrent(alert);
return;

}
mPlayer.prefetch();

mPlayer.realize();
if((mVidc = (VideoControl)mPlayer.getControl("VideoControl"))!=null)

{

mVideoItem = (Item)mVidc.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, null);
form1.append(mVideoItem);
}

mPlayer.prefetch();
mPlayer.start();
// form1.removeCommand(mPlayCommand);
display.setCurrent(form1);


}
catch (Exception e)

{e.printStackTrace();}

}

waiting for response.

Are you getting any exception if yes then please let us know so that we can slove your problem

[hiteshrawat]

Yes, when i tried running it with .3gp it gave me a media error but when i play with mpeg, it gives me that alert for input stream to be null.

i checked the location of the file and matched it correctly on the code also checked the .jar file....the file structure is same there too......

[ansh.chauhan]

change Manager.createPlayer(in, "video/mpeg"); with
Manager.createPlayer(is, "video/3gpp");

becoz you are using 3gp file. I m sure it will work

and for mpeg file i think your mobile will not support that

[hiteshrawat]

it gives me an error below



javax.microedition.media.MediaException: Cannot create a Player for: video/3gpp
