[Tatavarthi]

Hi all,

I would like play Video file from network using http or RTSP.


I using S60 3 rd edition and FP2
Is this done using MVideoPlayerUtilityObserver these API.Can any body give starting point or any needful information.

Thanks

MXy is always a callback, usually something that is used for notifying your code about happenings (that is why it is called observer, but you can also read its documentation). You should rather search for a class which uses this MVideoPlayerUtilityObserver. And that class will have a method called OpenUrlL.

Can anybody guide me how to use this MVideoPlayerUtilityObserver
Any brief idea will be fine.
Thanks

You may want to consider searching for MVideoPlayerUtilityObserver in the Wiki.

In CeMplayer1AppUi::HandleCommandL(TInt aCommand)--> In Play Command -->i am creating new instance of CMediaengine which extends MVideoPlayerUtilityObserver.

iMediaEng = CMediaEngine::NewL(iAppView);
			iMediaEng->InitControllerL();

My InitControllerL() implementation is shown below..

void CMediaEngine ::InitControllerL()   
    {
     iPlayer = NULL;
     iPlayer = CVideoPlayerUtility::NewL(*this,EMdaPriorityNormal,
                                        EMdaPriorityPreferenceNone,
	                                iView->ClientWsSession(),
                     			iView->ScreenDevice(),
					iView->ClientWindow(),
					iView->VideoRect(),
					iView->VideoRect() );
 
     iPlayer->OpenUrlL(KHelloFileName);//KHelloFileName is "rtsp://130.128.30.220/3gv2"
    }

i am unbale to play the streaming video(RTSP).

Can anybody give me idea where the problem will be?

Thanks

Hi,
Have you tried opening it in some media player to see it it works?

because of confidentiality issue,Here i am not mentioning proper link.
But i have RTSP link using which i am able to stream properly in media player.
So i hope there is no issue with URL.Its working alright.

Any other possible bugs??

Thank You,

Regards,
Pavan.

ok..you may try one thing, see if you are able to play any file which is on your device, through your application.I mean give OpenL() instead of OpenUrl(), this will confirm that problem is in playing file from url or problem in playing from the video player you constructed, so just see if black screen still comes if you play any file from your device location.

As you said i used OpenFileL() -- using this i am able to play the video.But instead of playing complete file,it is playing only for a while and pausing itself.
Will there any relation between this and my RTSP stream.I am using mime type MP4.
