javax.microedition.media.MediaException: Invalid locator

[bejoy_ak]

Hi all

I'm trying to play a video file in my nokia 6303classic, but i am getting the below mentioned error
"javax.microedition.media.MediaException: Invalid locator: /res/9876543210.3gpp"

i checked the formats supported by my phone and from that i was able to know tha it supports "3gpp"

Please help me in resolving this issue

below is the code which i used to play the video file.

try{
            //myPlayer=Manager.createPlayer(getClass().getResourceAsStream("file://localhost/E:/Video Enrollment/"+mobNo+".3gp"), "video/3gpp");
            //myPlayer=Manager.createPlayer("file://localhost/E:/Video Enrollment/"+mobNo+".3gpp");
            myPlayer=Manager.createPlayer("/res/9876543210.3gpp");
            myPlayer.addPlayerListener(this);
            //myPlayer.setLoopCount(-1);
            myPlayer.prefetch();
            myPlayer.realize();
            videoControl = (VideoControl)myPlayer.getControl("VideoControl");
            if (videoControl != null) {
                videoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO,this);
                videoControl.setDisplaySize(getWidth(),getHeight());
                videoControl.setDisplayLocation(0,0);
		videoControl.setVisible(true);
            }
            myPlayer.start();
        }catch(Exception e){
            Display.getDisplay(midlet).setCurrent(new Alert("",e.toString(),null,AlertType.INFO));
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Hi all

I am able to play a video file which is stored locally in midlet when i changed the code to as below

"myPlayer=Manager.createPlayer(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/res/9876543210.3gpp"), "video/3gpp");"

but now i am not able to play the same file when it is stored in memeory card

"java.lang.Illegal Argument Exception:Param is Null"

The code i used to play the file from memory card is

 myPlayer=Manager.createPlayer(getClass().getResourceAsStream("file://localhost/E:/Video Enrollment/9876543210.3gpp"), "video/3gpp");          
            myPlayer.addPlayerListener(this);
            //myPlayer.setLoopCount(-1);
            myPlayer.prefetch();
            myPlayer.realize();
            videoControl = (VideoControl)myPlayer.getControl("VideoControl");
            if (videoControl != null) {
                videoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO,this);
                videoControl.setDisplaySize(getWidth(),getHeight());
                videoControl.setDisplayLocation(0,0);
		videoControl.setVisible(true);
            }
            myPlayer.start();
        }catch(Exception e){
            Display.getDisplay(midlet).setCurrent(new Alert("",e.toString(),null,AlertType.INFO));
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Hello Bejoy A K,

how about if you try to create the Player as follows:

InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream( "/media.format" );
Manager.createPlayer( in, "media/format" )

I.e. reading the resources to InputStream first before passing the InputStream to the Player for playback.

Hmmm.. I guess bejoy_ak is trying to playback a file which is NOT inside the JAR file, but in the file system. Is this correct Bejoy_ak?
If this is indeed the case, then you are providing the file location incorrectly. See more guidance in here

I guess this path was not recognized and hence the exception was thrown.
file://localhost/E:/Video Enrollment/9876543210.3gpp", can you go through the URL that Hartti suggested,

I will recommend to print and check the root folder of the file system of the device. Then you should access the same.Try to remove the Host name from the above path and revert with the results.
