B4J Question Using the Media Player

[treehousefrog]

Hey all,

Got another question When using the Media Player, what do I use for the 'URI' field? I have a wav in my assets folder I was hoping to play, but can't find a way to initialize it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks and best wishes,

Adam

See the note about wav files in the assets folder: http://www.b4x.com/b4j/help/jfx.html#mediaplayer

You will need to copy the file to the temp folder and then play it.

Hi,

I have a similar problem with the Media Player.

First of all, which audio file types are supported?

Secondly, I can't initialize any file I try. Erel said (post #2 above) that the file needs to be copied to the temp folder. Which temp folder is that? C:\Windows\temp ? I tried that but it didn't work. And should I also have the file in the project's "Files" folder? I'm on Windows 7 64bit.

I get this error message:

Error occurred on line: 48 (main).
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: uri.getScheme() == null!
...

Any ideas?

Regards,
Marko F.

You can see the supported formats here: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/media/package-summary.html#SupportedMediaTypes

You only need to copy wav files that are included in the Files tab. You should use File.GetUri to create the uri.

Thanks Erel! I got it to work now!
