Switching between Sun and FOBS JMF

[Thomas Schmidt]

Hello,

first of all, I would like to thank the FOBS4JMF developers for their work. I'm using FOBS for an application that's distributed for Win and MAC OS, and FOBS has greatly improved the value of this software!
That said: I find that there is one area for which Sun's JMF still performs better than the FOBS version, namely with plain old WAV-files. Because of this, I'm distributing my application in two versions, one with Sun's and one with FOBS JMF. My question is: is there a more elegant way to switch between the frameworks? I.e.: can I do something INSIDE my application to tell it (or let the user tell it) to work with one framework or the other? Or does the fact that both are different implementations of one and the same thing prevent me from doing this?

Any help will be appreciated,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I'm not sure myself how this can be done, but I'm pretty sure you can do it. You basically need to instruct JMF to use the SUN parser instead of Fobs'. It's been a while since I looked at the JMF API so cannot tell you anything else.

Cheers,
