Description aditsu 2016-02-29 10:07:02 UTC
I tried to use JavaFX to play a video file, but got this error:

MediaException: UNKNOWN : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!

It happens with every file I tried (except unsupported formats). The same code (with the same files) is working perfectly fine in windows.
Upon debugging, I found that a MediaError with code 265, name "ERROR_MEDIA_AUDIO_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED", is internally reported in GSTMedia.init()

I tried a few different audio codecs, and even removed the audio completely, but still got the same error every time.

test program (URL version)

Here is a simple program you can use for testing. The file I used is from http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/oow2010-2.flv (Oracle's own sample video). You could also try to load it directly from the URL, but that seems to freeze the program in my case.

Oops, I uploaded the URL version by accident

This is the code I intended to upload the first time.
Comment 4 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2016-02-29 10:22:38 UTC
As discussed on IRC, this is probably because we don't install the ffmpeg helper libraries. That's because they always lag too far behind the ffmpeg versions we have in the tree.

One option might be to force the helper libraries to use the system version anyway so it at least has a chance of working. On the other hand, that could possibly bring down the whole JVM.

The best solution would be to package OpenJFX so that we can properly link against our own ffmpeg but don't expect that in a hurry.

Thanks for the test program, that's very helpful.

Thanks, any solution would be fine, as long as it doesn't break other things. Just wanted to report this so we have a record. Let me know if I can help.
