Packaging fobs with an application

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I have a simple application that does not require the user to have the JMF installed on their system. Instead, I package the all-Java jmf.jar with the application.

I'd like to use fobs to allow my application to read more video file formats. Are there any instructions on packaging fobs with my application? I'd like to avoid having to copy the fobs4jmf.dll and .properties files to a particular system directory. Can fobs be configured to work directly from the application directory?

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

first of all, thanks for using Fobs. Remember to feedback the results you get using it, specially if they are good cause it's a pain to see always bugs and issues in this forum ;)

About your application, you surely can pack fobs in it. However, the right procedure depends quite a lot on the system you are using. In the binary packages of fobs you will find loading scripts that make use of the .dll and .properties file present in the local folder. I recommend you to have a look at them. They're really simple so you won't have any problem. Anyway, please reply with any more concrete problem that may arise.

Cheers

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll definitely post my results.

Thanks also for the tip on reading the packaged launcher file. It was a stupid error on my part: based on where I had the .dll file in my IDE environment, it was being packed up with my jar. Once I moved it out of the jar, all was well.

Best regards,

Steve
