I have spent hours today looking up how to get some form of audio in eclipse and have had trouble every step of the way. Currently I have something that should work but I get an error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: expected file name as argument
at com.sun.javafx.css.parser.Css2Bin.main(Css2Bin.java:44)
I have basically copied this from someone who had it working. I would like to say that the FX lib is added where it should be. I know this isn't fancy but I was just trying the basics.
package b;
import java.io.File;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args){
String uriString = new File("C:\\Users\\Mike\\workspace\\b\\src\\hero.mp3").toURI().toString()
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer( new Media(uriString));
player.play();
}}
I have also tried many different path names in case it was wrong with no luck, I also just tried to copy and paste the path name that i got in eclipse by going to properties ex: /b/src/hero.mp3. Help would be appreciated to get me out of this nightmare.
The files located outside the workspace should be included with file:// prefix. A simple example demonstrating the functionality is
public class Reproductor extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
Media media = new Media("file:///Movies/test.mp3"); //replace /Movies/test.mp3 with your file
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(media);
player.play();
}
}
If the file is into the resources/music this will work and the application will be portable,.mp3 inside the .jar:
Media media = null;
try {
media = new Media(getClass().getResource("/music/hero.mp3").toURI().toString());
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I suspect you have a issue with referencing embedded resources. An embedded resource is any file which is contained within the application context (ie. In this case, stored within the application Jar).
In order to obtain a reference to these resources, you need to use Class#getResource, which returns a URL, which you can then use to load the resource depending on your requirements, for example...
public class Main extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
String path = Test.class.getResource("/Kalimba.mp3").toString();
Media media = new Media(path);
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(media);
mp.play();
System.out.println("Playing...");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Now, I couldn't get it to work until I wrapped in a Application context...
JavaFX EMBED an MP3 into the jar (in the jar) with NetBeans
I programmed my very first JavaFX package in NetBeans, and then I wanted to add sound, an mp3 music file, embedded in the jar, inside the jar, so that I could email the jar to my friends and the music would play on their computers. Thank you StackOverflow for your help. Thanks especially to the member who said “put your music file IN THE JAR, getResourceAsStream() is the API you want to use.” He put me on the right track, although I ended up using getResource(). It works.
STEP 1: Firstly, I got the music to play when I hit run in NetBeans.
STEP 2: I wanted the music to loop (repeat). Eventually I got that right, thanks to the members of StackOverflow. Please see my source code.
STEP 3: Finally I got the mp3 to EMBED in the jar. Now, this is important. At first the music played on my computer, but the jar read it off my hard disc. When I changed the name of the mp3, then the jar crashed, it would not run, it could not find the mp3. I had to embed the mp3 into the jar, put it inside the jar (in the jar) otherwise it would not play on somebody else’s computer. That’s where getResource() did the trick.
STEP 4: Then I emailed my jar to friends. Some service providers don’t trust a jar, they sent the emails back to me, undelivered. Other service providers don’t have a problem and delivered the emails. So, what did I do? I changed the name of the *.jar to *.mp4 and the emails were delivered, I asked my friends to change it back from *.mp4 to *.jar. It worked.
Here is my source code. I’m sure it’s not perfect, but it works, thanks to StackOverflow.
/* Of course, one needs to import the following gizmo’s (and others): */
import javafx.util.Duration;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
/* I want to EMBED the music inside the jar (in the jar).
The secret seems to be getResource. The source code starts here,
to EMBED the sound (DollyParton.mp3) into the jar: */
//************************ begin the music ***********************
#Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
init(primaryStage);
primaryStage.show();
play();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
MediaPlayer musicplayer; {
/* Put your music file IN THE JAR, "getResourceAsStream()" is
the API you want to use. Put the DollyParton.mp3 into the Windows
folder src/rockymountain. NetBeans automatically copies the mp3
to the folder build/classes/rockymountain. */
Media mp3MusicFile = new Media(getClass().getResource("DollyParton.mp3").toExternalForm());
musicplayer = new MediaPlayer(mp3MusicFile);
musicplayer.setAutoPlay(true);
musicplayer.setVolume(0.9); // from 0 to 1
//***************** loop (repeat) the music ******************
musicplayer.setOnEndOfMedia(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
musicplayer.seek(Duration.ZERO);
}
});
//*************** end of loop (repeat) the music **************
}
//**************************** end of music *************************
I put the mp3 into the Windows folder src/rockymountain. Then NetBeans automatically copied the mp3 to the folder build/classes/rockymountain. NetBeans does not copy the mp3 to the folder /resources, a file that I created unnecessarily, because someone said so. The /resources folder is not needed, it remains empty.
Create a Java ARchive (jar) file using NetBeans as follows:
Right-click on the Project name
Select Properties
Click Packaging
Check Build JAR after Compiling
Check Compress JAR File
Click OK to accept changes
Right-click on the Project name
Select Clean and Build
The JAR file is built. To view it inside NetBeans:
Click the Files tab
Expand ProjectName >> dist (distribution). The jar file is inside the dist folder.
Try to add --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.media in your VM options.
I tried this three lines and it worked!
Media sound = new Media(new File("src/music/menu.mp3").toURI().toString());
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(sound);
player.play();
First you need to put the code in try and catch to catch any error, second you must
define the JFXPanel to define it to the media package and the tool kit ,so this is the code:
package test1;
import java.io.File;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
import javafx.embed.swing.JFXPanel;
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
JFXPanel j = new JFXPanel();
String uriString = new File(""C:\\Users\\Mike\\workspace\\b\\src\\hero.mp3"").toURI().toString();
MediaPlayer Player = new MediaPlayer(new Media(uriString));
Player.play();
} catch (Exception ex) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, ex);
}
}
and a good info for you can put only file name
inside the File() exp: String uri = new File("hero.mp3").toURI().toString();

I'm trying to make a song play when opening the .JAR-file. It works fine in Netbeans but when opening the .Jar-file only the button for scenechange and the images on those scenes show.
In the controller for the FXML i've initialized a Thread for playing the song:
#Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
PlaySong ps = new PlaySong();
Thread thread = new Thread(ps);
thread.start();
}
This calls the class with the thread which should play the song:
public class PlaySong implements Runnable {
#Override
public void run() {
playSong();
}
static void playSong(){
try{
AudioInputStream audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("/src/maanedsdag2/AssetsLibrary/James Smith - Just the Way You Are.wav").getAbsoluteFile());
Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
clip.open(audioInputStream);
clip.start();
Thread.sleep(clip.getMicrosecondLength()/1000);
} catch(Exception e){
}
}
}
My intent is to start playing the song when opening the FXML via the initialize method.
Hope you guys can help.
Your music file should be inside of the 'src' file of your project for being deployed in JAR. And you should use "getResourceAsStream()" to get your sound file.
When you launch your application from your IDE you can access to src file because your JVM execution Path is your project folder.
So you will understand that in a jar you don't have your project. In a Jar the execution path is the folder containing your jar and you will agree that even manually you don't found the folder src in this folder?
You need to consider your music track as resource and not as a file. I suggest you to read: Location-Independent Access to Resources.
But in your case:
SomeClass.class.getResourceAsStream("relativePathfromSomeClasstoyourwavFile");
Duplicate?
OS file systems do not "see" into jar files. Use a URL instead, which can.
It is common to use a relative addressing scheme, and to place the audio in a resources folder of some sort. But you can also just put the audio in the same file as the class that is calling it. Or reference the root of your project with an "absolute" address (address starts with char "/"). Your choice.
The "duplicate" tag above has code examples.
I am using netbeans. I have a project directory like this:
HTMLEdit/
src/
htmledit/
- pic.png
- MyClass.java
I tried to get the image, but it return null. I had trying both of these but still cannot get it to work:
System.out.println(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/pic.png"));
and
System.out.println(getClass().getResourceAsStream("pic.png"));
What's causing this weird behavior?
EDIT :
It looks like it's because I choosed JAVAFX Project when created the project. I recreate the project by choosing Java Project and it works fine. May be this is Netbeans bug.
getClass().getResourceAsStream() is used for files embedded inside your java jar file. You should use FileInputStream if you need to read a file from your file system as a stream of bytes. Here's the documentation: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/io/FileInputStream.html
When you do getClass().getResourceAsStream("/pic.png")then the url that will be looked to access the file will be an absolute url. The absolute URL is indicated by the slash which is at the front of the resource location.
If you do getClass().getResourceAsStream("pic.png"), then a resource relative to the package where the class resides will be used.
Because you said that both of the getResourceAsStream() statements did not work in Netbeans, I checked the below JavaFX code in Netbeans and it worked perfectly.
public class MyClass extends Application{
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Pane root = new Pane();
Image images = new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("pic.png"));
ImageView image = new javafx.scene.image.ImageView(images);
root.getChildren().add(image);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Here is the structure and the output of the program.
In case if you want to know the Netbeans version, I am using then it is Netbeans 8.0.2.
Also, read the following post.
Different ways of loading a file as an InputStream
I think I'm doing everything right in my code but my background won't show up in my processing project, here is my code.
package finalproject;
import processing.core.PApplet;
import processing.core.PImage;
public class FinalProject extends PApplet {
PImage background;
PImage player;
public void setup() {
size(1360, 1080);
player = loadImage("player.png");
background = loadImage("rust.png");
}
public void draw() {
background(background);
image(player, 500, 500);
}
}
Processing expects files to be inside a data directory next to the code.
You're presumably running this from an IDE like Eclipse instead of the Processing editor, so where you put that data directory depends on how your code is setup. And you haven't posted a MCVE, so it's hard to help you with that.
But basically, you need to debug your sketch to figure out exactly where Processing is looking for the files. Then you need to move the files there. This is probably something simple like putting them inside a data directory.
If you still can't get it working, please post a MCVE along with a screenshot or a description of your directory structure.
If you are using the processing IDE than the data folder should be located in your sketch folder next to all the .pde files. Make sure that the image you are using has the same resolution as the sketch window. If you are still having issues I would recommend that you try moving your setup and draw methods out of your class and into the main processing sketch.

public class playsound {
public static void testsound(){
String musicFileName = "ROQUE.mp3";

For a group assignment I've been deligated to make the music that plays for a game developed in Java, I've been looking at some ways to play audio files and it seems like JavaFX is the way to go. I just wanted to run like a simple test player but I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" MediaException: MEDIA_UNAVAILABLE : C:\Users\Dylan\Documents\stuffinaround\musictesting\ROQUE.mp3 (The system cannot find the file specified)
at javafx.scene.media.Media.<init>(Unknown Source)
at musictesting.playsound.testsound(playsound.java:13)
at musictesting.playsound.main(playsound.java:19)
The file ROQUE.mp3 is in my source/bin folders.
I've tried different code people have posted online, this seems pretty straight ahead. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Anyone having trouble with this should check out this thread, initializing JavaFX from a separate method or class fixes this, I'm not sure I understand the ins and outs yet but it works for now!
How to use JavaFX MediaPlayer correctly?
I'm trying to make simple audio player with JavaFX Mediaplayer component. All local files are fine but i want also implement internet radio.
Code:
public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException {
new JFXPanel(); //init jfx library
String u = "http://91.121.164.186:8050";
Media m=null;
try {
m = new Media(u);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(m);
System.out.println("play");
player.play();
player.setVolume(new Double(1));
}
When I run it like this there is no errors but there is no audio. What's wrong ? What are other posibilities to play radio stream in Java ?
In your current example I can see two errors,
You are trying to run a JAVAFX component on a non-Javafx thread, which will result in error. Try running your program inside the start method. Please go through How to use JavaFX MediaPlayer correctly?
The URL you are trying to access must be a Media Compoenent
Try going through this extremely great example on Javafx Media
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/media/EmbeddedMediaPlayer.zip
N.B. The example has lot more data than your require, but its a great example !
"http://91.121.164.186:8050" is a website, (HTML document), not a audio file. You need to download an audio file, something that the player knows what to do with.
