Dear All,

Is it possible to call real player from my program to play video. That means inside my coding i want to open real player & play specific video. or is it possible to play video in openGLES enviroment suppose in one of the example of nokia openGLES Sdk's.

Basically I want to play video in mobile AR enviroment.

You can use CDocumentHandler API to open the file and it will be handled by the predefined application from device. Try out this Wiki article: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ocumentHandler

ok..thanks

But this article confuse me little bit. actaully what do mean by standalone & embadded version?

If i want to open real player inside my program then i need to give uid(real player) info and also video file name inside my coding .so how i put this information.here its not clear...

I already tried CVideoPlayerUtility to play video in openGLES envrioment for mobile AR. but facing problems..

Embedded means that the file will be played within your application. Where as standalone will call it separately. You should try that code and experience the difference. You can create one test GUI application and execute that code.

ok thanks ..I m following MIME type..and its work!! but the problem its constantly opening real player and playing the video file.that means every second its opening the real player ..but I want when call realplayer it should open only one clip.

_LIT(KVideoPath1,"c:\\Data\\video.3gp");

RApaLsSession session;
User::LeaveIfError(session.Connect());
CleanupClosePushL(session);

TBuf<50> fileName;

fileName.Copy(KVideoPath1);
RDebug::Print(_L("fileName = %S"), &fileName);

// Gets the UID and MIME type for the given file name.
TUid uid;
TDataType dataType;
User::LeaveIfError(session.AppForDocument(fileName, uid, dataType));

// Runs the default application using the MIME type, dataType.
// You can also use the UID to run the application.
TThreadId threadId;
User::LeaveIfError(session.StartDocument(fileName, dataType, threadId));

CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // session


}

Hmm, what if you play the file from your phone's file browser? Does it play it in a single go?

Also try CDocumentHandler as I said before and see if there is any difference.

Basically I m using video for Augmented Reality purposes. So when camera detect the marker that time it play the video through real player.I already able to stop multiple playing. Now my research is how to pause video when marker is gone out (invisible)from camera.

is there any way to pause video from this coding not from real player?

i donot think you can control the the Realplayer but you can try looking at the plugIn SDK APIs about PlayerRemoteControl etc

Hello All,

Again I want to know one issue from this topic.

In this program real player start and play video after detect marker(my AR case). Is it possible to automatically real player close and retrun back to my program(real time video capture for AR) after completing the play video from real player.At now I need to stop/back manualy in real player to back to my program .

Is it possible in this coding? or any other way?

Thanks
