I had a small JavaFX application to play some GoPro videos on a windows / linux client. In the past I had using a GoPro 4. I've downloaded the video to the client and play it from the local storage. Like this:
File file = new File("AnyVideo.MP4");
Media m = new Media(file.toURI().toString());
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(m);
mp.setAutoPlay(true);
mediaView.setMediaPlayer(mp);
I'll try to switch to the new GoPro 6 now. But it doesn't worked as expected.
The problem is probably that the JavaFX MediaPlayer did not support the codec from the new GoPro 6.
GoPro 4: h264 AVC video codec
GoPro 6: h265 HEVC video codec
The JavaFX MediaPlayer supports only the h264 codec.
Did anyone know a way how I can play a h265 HEVC video with my JavaFX application. In the best case a solution wich can play the video immediatly from the camera without download the video first to the client. The GoPro has a smal Media Server to get the video over HTTP. as example:
http://10.5.5.9:8080/videos/DCIM/100/GPR10973.MP4
Native JavaFX Solution
Perhaps this is a duplicate or at least related to:
Adding other video codecs / DVD support to JavaFX 2.2.
See my answer to that question for links to related feature requests in the JavaFX bug tracker system.
Solutions using non-JavaFX tech from JavaFX
There are other solutions than those discussed in answers to that question which may work for you. Especially if your primary concern is just getting some kind of playback, even if it doesn't have deep integration with the JavaFX media system.
For instance, other approaches than native JavaFX playback could be:
Using VLCJ with some kind of Swing integration (such as a SwingNode, though that may or may not work).
Rendering the VLCJ video into a JavaFX ImageView or Canvas.
See related: Playing Video in Java FX using vlcj api.
Which links to the following project: https://github.com/caprica/vlcj-javafx.
Launch a native video player if you don't need the video embedded.
Perhaps Desktop.open() or the Process API could do this.
Call ffmpeg to convert h265 to h264.
I don't know much about this, but a quick google of the topic shows up references to the xuggle project.
Current status of the xuggler project is:
Xuggler is on hiatus as no one is actively developing it anymore. Sorry. That said, you can always find the source code and start hacking yourself. Good luck!
So I wish you good luck with that ;-)
Launching the native browser through a HostServices.showDocument() call to display the video.
Use a third party browsing component that can be integrated into JavaFX and includes support for the media type you want to play back, for example JxBrowser:
H.265 support in jxbrowser
Of the options outlined above, personally, I would recommend using HostServices to play the video in the native browser if that kind of solution will possibly work for you.
Going into detail on various options is probably out of scope for StackOverflow (even the above list starts looking like a sometimes frowned upon library recommendation).

I am creating sound recording app, and i need to create audio visualizer. I looked at this similar question, but there was only outdated libraries and i looked at several other questions, but i could not find the answer.
Do you know about any open source github not outdated projects?
I want to make a sound visualization that would look something like below image:
You can use this Library for a visualization of your Audio while recording
https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Voice-Recorder
I have used this in my application, and it's working really well.
It's not outdated, and is up to dated to be used in new projects.
Thanks
I wish to play a video in JFrame. I am already using ffmpeg in my project. As I wish to keep the project light, I am not willing to use other frameworks like JMF or other. I know that I can play video using ffplay. But the problem here is ffplay opens the video in new window when I try
ffplay output.avi
I wish to put that video within my JFrame, like a player. How can I do this?
Request:
Please ask for any other clarifications, details, and suggest improvements or comment what you find wrong before downvoting or voting to close the question:). I will change it. I am really new to Java, I tried searching this but could not find any possible solution.
What I tried? I couln't find anything related to this, so I don't have any code. I am familiar to how to create frames, and can use runtime to ffplay video. But I got no clue how to put that video within my window:(.
All suggestions are welcome if you can suggest me other methods to play the video. But I haven't use any frameworks other than ffmpeg. And do not wish to make the application heavier. So it would be more helpful if it can be achieved using ffplay.
Look at the JMF 2.1.1 - Supported Formats. If the video types you wish to support are covered by the cross-platform1 version of the JMF, or you can find an SPI for the format, I'd say use JMF.
The 'performance pack' version uses natives which are now very old. I would not recommend trying to use them.
I am busy with a movie/video-clip player/library.
I want to do this in JavafX. Almost 90% of the video clips is in AVI format. I cannot for several reasons covert the movies/video-clips.
I also want the program to mark the video files that were played, from start to complete, so that I will know what have been watched. So the program needs to be able to interact with the video player to know when the video has played to the end.
JavafX doesn't allow playback for AVI files. What's the alternative to be able to use this with? And how will I know if the video has fully played from beginning to end.
I read the following
Adding other video codecs / DVD support to JavaFX 2.2
Where they suggest I use portable VLC player. Is this the best way to use it in JavafX and if possible does the API have register hooks to register a method that can be triggered to know when the video has stopped?
I need to play a video in my JFrame. I've looked around and I have installed the Java media framework and I've tried numerous ways, media panel doesn't seem to work and I don't understand Player. If someone could tell me an easy way to play a video inside a JFrame or even which methods to call that would be great.
( I also have the .avi file in the same directory as the .class and .java files )
JMF is basically dead.
I don't have first-hand experience with playing video with Swing, but here's a list of alternatives to JMF you might try. There are also a number of SO questions about this already:
Video playback in Java ( JMF, Fobs4JMF, Xuggler, FMJ )
JMF replacement
Based on those, it looks like Xuggler is the solution.
For the casual reader, Xuggler is now deprecated. Use Humble video instead: https://github.com/artclarke/humble-video.
On the other hand, you can have a look at the vlcj project.
It permits you embedding a native VLC media player in a Java AWT Window or Swing JFrame.
UPDATE Feb 04 '16
The Humble Video project seems inactive. There's no new updates since Janury the 3rd 2015.
vlcj is still active. The last update was done on Feb 03 '16.
I have an audio file in .3gp format on my Android device which I wish
to upload to YouTube. I know that YouTube is a video upload site and
that I need to convert this sound file to video.
I just want an image to display all the time the audio is playing.
Google tells me there are number of tools that can help me. But I want
to do this via java code from my Android device.
Please help.
Thanks.
There are tools such as FFMPEG available for free that allow you to, essentially, mix and convert heterogenous streams. That is you can add a bitmap to a video, create video from slide shows and then add sound etc. (See a related question I asked here).
These programs can be executed from within java applications by making Runtime.exec(..) calls.
Sun has an example for stitching multiple JPEGs together into a movie, you can find it here. You should be able to take this example, (its fairly robust), and add what you need to it.
I recommend looking into the Java Media Framework (FAQ)
You can find a vast collection of sample applets/code at the Sun Solutions page. You can find the API on this page. I do hope this is compatible on the Android platform, as I haven't had any personal experience developing for it. But it might be a good place to start.
