media-player

I am trying to play a video stream from the internet on the iPhone by pressing a button. I used many code samples but nothing worked. With this code it opens a black view without any video stream or controls in it. (The stream itself works.) NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://MyStreamURL.com"]; MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer]; moviePlayer.controlStyle =

After looking around for a decent library for playing videos in Java, I've come unstuck. Everyone around is screaming not to use JMF because it's outdated, old and requires the user to install it, other alternatives such as VLCJ seem good if they work but are still relatively unstable and rely on hefty amounts of native code, and as for dealing with DVDs, that seems like gold dust to find in a free library! Current Options: Now JavaFX 2 is gaining momentum it's been something I've been seriously looking at (hence my question here ) but I've no luck so far in trying to work out how to make it

I am trying to create a media player in Unity that reads all media files from a static folder and plays trough all medias (images static duration, videos for the length of the video). First I am trying to get it to work with just images. I'm very new with Unity and not good with C#. I'm able to get all media file sources (images) to an array but next I need to convert them to a texture and place on the RawImage -component. I'm stuck with this part. If I have the src (ex. C:\medias\img1.jpg) then how could I place this as a image on the RawImage -component? My code -> using System.Collections;

The goal is to intercept broadcasts from the headset, as well as bluetooth eventually, to respond to different types of clicks from the headset to alter the mediaplayer. This solution works fine for all versions prior to ICS. Here is some of the code and things I have tried: .... private BroadcastReceiver mediaButtonReceiver = new MediaButtonIntentReceiver(); .... public void onCreate() { ... IntentFilter mediaFilter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON); mediaFilter.setPriority(2147483647); // this is bad...I know this.registerReceiver(mediaButtonReceiver, mediaFilter); ... } public

What are the advantages/disadvantages in placing a lengthy network access code in a thread in an activity or a thread in a service? How would it affect the application? I am writing a streaming audio player and from what I've read so far putting the code in a service will still end up blocking the application so a new thread is needed, does anyone know if it makes more sense to put this piece of code in a service. Yes, a blocking operation in a Service will still block the application. Despite first appearances, Services are not simply for running tasks in the background. They are for running
