How To Develop A Designer Media Player For Java Swing Application????

[Kartik Raina]

I am developing a java Swing application in which there will be small designer media player (Somewhat like flash based media player on browsers). I tried JMF but the media player which they are providing does not have that looks. So i tried to find something in javaFx, i found a media player but i dont know how to call an FX application into javaSwings. I also tried to get a flash based media player but again not mush of use.

So my main question is "Can any one tell me which side should i go???" I know there are several solution but i only wish to get only the Feasible one. Please also provide some SOURCE of your suggestion/answer (URL link/Source Code)........

JMF provides all the functionality you'd need for media access and playback. You just need to put a Swing GUI on top of it. At which point, exactly, are you stuck?

I am stuck at same point that you have mentioned. I dont know how to superimpose swing on JMF

I think JMF comes with an AWT component that you can embed in your application ... yep, a quick search finds the javax.media.bean.playerbean.MediaPlayer class. If that is not to your tastes, then nothing stops you from writing your own component.

javax.media.Player has methods getControlPanelComponent() and getVisualComponent(). Both return a Component (or null if unavailable, e.g. an audio file has no visual component). Keep in mind though that these are most likely heavy-weight components, so they may (will?) cause problems with Swing menu items and such.

Generally I have better things to do than use Google for other people, but since today is Tuesday I'll make an exception. The second hit for "writing a media player with jmf" is this: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=21113&rll=1. Now you should be all set.
