Problem getting fobs to work in my Java app

[Payam Fard]

I have a simple JMF application that plays a movie clip. It cannot play .divx formats. I downloaded fobs and added fobs4jmf.jar to my classpath, but I am still getting the following error message:

  Unable to handle format: DIVX, 480x360, FrameRate=25.0, Length=518400 0 extra bytes
  Unable to handle format: mpeglayer3, 44100.0 Hz, 0-bit, Stereo, Unsigned, 16000.0 frame rate, FrameSize=8 bits
Failed to realize: com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@18020cc
Error: Unable to realize com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@18020cc
Could not realize media player

This is the same exact error message I was getting before adding fobs4jmf.jar to my classpath. What else should I be doing to get the player play .divx files.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

try to read previous posts of the forum. You probably haven't configured Fobs properly: either use the provided jmf.properties or add Fobs codecs to your jmf.properties file using the JMFRegistry application. That is a mandatory step, in addition to include Fobs4JMJ.jar file to the classpath.

Cheers,

Could you solve this problem? I had an application running jmf and added fobs4jmf.jar, jmf.jar (provided) and jmf.properties to the project and the classpath (and even tried on the buildpath) but couldn't open the media.

I am having a similar problem. I can play the clip fine with JMStudio. But when I create a simple player using the MediaPlayer bean, it cannot open the clip. It will play clips in formats that are handled by JMF.

Update on the above problem:

I don't know if it was the computer restart or re-adding FOBS as a separate library, but today it works!!!

FOBS is so insanely useful! Thanks for it!
