Play large media files

[Eagle King]

I want to make a program that can play large media files. When I use InputStream to load data from files, it'll load all data into InputStream. So it will take much time to run and doesn't run well. It play more slowly than normal.
Now, I want to load a part of data into InputStream (like buffer) and play with this InputStream? After player finish a data, program will load next data to InputStream and play.
How can I do that?

PS: Sorry for my English.

This is the code for inputstream
inputstream = connection.openInputStream();
int length = (int) connection.getLength();
if (length != -1)
{
byte incomingData[] = new byte[length];
inputstream.read(incomingData);
str = new String(incomingData);


what you can do here when you read the data here in incomeing data let it be completely read but when you load it break this in array in particular size for e.g 1MB and now play this intervals one after another to achive more good response you can read data itself in chunks

Where are these files? In the JAR, in the file system, or on a remote server?

How do you mean? I don't see how it can play slowly.

I'm afraid you cannot stream the audio data unless you're using a streaming protocol, or unless you create the media Player object from an unbuffered InputStream. Whether or not the InputStream is buffered depends on where the data is, and on the implementation.

These files are in the file system. I give the player file's path.
It play interruptedly. It play and stop then play and stop... It acted like that. If the file is bigger than 45 MB, It won't play (opening video file error)

Could you tell me How I can do to use a streaming protocol? The file data is too large (about 100 MB) and the player can't play it normally.

str = new String(incomingData);

I can't run this code. It throw Uncaught exception java/lang/OutOfMemoryError.

How can I put the chunk data into inputstream to play it?
