MP4 Player -- MediaException

[thechameleon]

FileConnection fileConnection = (FileConnection) Connector.open(absolutePath); //absolutePath = file:///C:/Data/Sounds/test.mp4
InputStream inputStream = fileConnection.openInputStream();
byte [] fileBytes = new byte [((int) fileConnection.fileSize())];
int totalBytesRead = 0;
int fileSize = fileBytes.length;
int bytesRead = 0;
while(totalBytesRead < fileSize){
	bytesRead = inputStream.read(fileBytes, totalBytesRead, fileSize);
	totalBytesRead += bytesRead;
}
System.out.println("total bytes read: " + totalBytesRead);
System.out.println("file size: " + fileSize);

inputStream.close();
InputStream inStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileBytes);
System.out.println("inStream OK");
Player player = Manager.createPlayer(inStream, "video/mp4");
System.out.println("Player OK");
fileConnection.close();

the code above throws the Exception: javax.microedition.media.MediaException: Could not create player.

the print outs:

total bytes read: 8939164
file size: 8939164
inStream OK
Exception e: javax.microedition.media.MediaException: Could not create player.

im trying to use it to create a Player Object with a video mp4 file. this same code works for music files...

in addition, when i tried

Player player = Manager.createPlayer(absolutePath);

it works. so, why i cant use an InputStream to do it? how can i fix it?

HI
can you tell me on which handset you are running your application.May be you handset does'nt support mp4 file

hi frnd,

if you are testing your application onsun emulator then it will not play.because sun emulator support only mpg media file.try your application on nokia device which support mp4 file format.

Hello Ajay.

Could you please tell me are sun emulators supporting mp3 files?
I am using Series 40 5th edition SDK, with code similar to the Chameleon's and am trying to play audio file.
I am getting IllegalAccessException.
Using this code for file location

InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/bark.wav");

First i tried with mp3 file. Didnt work, buit it doesn work with wav files also.

hi frnd

IllegalAccessException this exception is might coming due to you r not using resurcestrea properly.

but if you want to know supported media by your s40 phone then use this method
It will return array(String) in that you can see which type of music and video and image supports your phone.

Manager.getSupportedContentTypes(null)

thanks

To Ajay:

Already tried Manager.getSupportedContentTypes(null) and nothing,
i think it works only with actual device, not with emulator, i do not know.

I have spent too much time trying to play mp3 file, i will have to post code on forum to get some help.
And i have tried every possible way i could find on net to play that mp3 file.
Something is missing or i am not doing it right.

Anyhow, thanks for your answer Ajay!
