MediaPlayer (vlcj 3.2.0 API)

All Known Subinterfaces:: DirectAudioPlayer, DirectMediaPlayer, EmbeddedMediaPlayer, HeadlessMediaPlayer

public interface MediaPlayer

Specification for a media player component.

A media player provides the following functions:

Status controls - e.g. length, time
Play-back controls - play, pause, stop, skip, back
Volume controls - volume level, mute
Chapter controls - next/previous/set chapter, chapter count
Sub-picture/sub-title controls - get/set, count
Snapshot controls
Logo controls - enable/disable, set opacity, file
Marquee controls - enable/disable, set colour, size, opacity, timeout
Video adjustment controls - contrast, brightness, hue, saturation, gamma
Audio adjustment controls - delay

The basic life-cycle is:

   // Set some options for libvlc
   String[] libvlcArgs = {...add options here...};

   // Create a factory
   MediaPlayerFactory mediaPlayerFactory = new MediaPlayerFactory(libvlcArgs);

   // Create a full-screen strategy
   FullScreenStrategy fullScreenStrategy = new DefaultFullScreenStrategy(mainFrame);

   // Create a media player instance (in this example an embedded media player)
   EmbeddedMediaPlayer mediaPlayer = mediaPlayerFactory.newEmbeddedMediaPlayer(fullScreenStrategy);

   // Set standard options as needed to be applied to all subsequently played media items
   String[] standardMediaOptions = {"video-filter=logo", "logo-file=vlcj-logo.png", "logo-opacity=25"};
   mediaPlayer.setStandardMediaOptions(standardMediaOptions);

   // Add a component to be notified of player events
   mediaPlayer.addMediaPlayerEventListener(new MediaPlayerEventAdapter() {...add implementation here...});

   // Create and set a new component to display the rendered video (not shown: add the Canvas to a Frame)
   Canvas canvas = new Canvas();
   CanvasVideoSurface videoSurface = mediaPlayerFactory.newVideoSurface(canvas);
   mediaPlayer.setVideoSurface(videoSurface);

   // Play a particular item, with options if necessary
   String mediaPath = "/path/to/some/movie.mpg";
   String[] mediaOptions = {...add options here...};
   mediaPlayer.playMedia(mediaPath, mediaOptions);

   // Do some interesting things in the application
   ...

   // Cleanly dispose of the media player instance and any associated native resources
   mediaPlayer.release();

   // Cleanly dispose of the media player factory and any associated native resources
   mediaPlayerFactory.release();

With regard to overlaying logos there are three approaches.

The first way is to specify standard options for the media player - this will set the logo for any subsequently played media item, for example:

 String[] standardMediaOptions = {"video-filter=logo", "logo-file=vlcj-logo.png", "logo-opacity=25"};
 mediaPlayer.setStandardMediaOptions(standardMediaOptions);

The second way is to specify options when playing the media item, for example:

 String[] mediaOptions = {"video-filter=logo", "logo-file=vlcj-logo.png", "logo-opacity=25"};
 mediaPlayer.playMedia(mediaPath, mediaOptions);

The final way is to use the methods of this class to set various logo properties, for example:

 mediaPlayer.setLogoFile("vlcj-logo.png");
 mediaPlayer.setLogoOpacity(25);
 mediaPlayer.setLogoLocation(10, 10);
 mediaPlayer.enableLogo(true);

For this latter method, it is not possible to enable the logo until after the video has started playing. There is also a noticeable stutter in video play-back when enabling the logo filter in this way.

With regard to overlaying marquees, again there are three approaches (similar to those for logos).

In this instance only the final way showing the usage of the API is used, for example:

 mediaPlayer.setMarqueeText("VLCJ is quite good");
 mediaPlayer.setMarqueeSize(60);
 mediaPlayer.setMarqueeOpacity(70);
 mediaPlayer.setMarqueeColour(Color.green);
 mediaPlayer.setMarqueeTimeout(3000);
 mediaPlayer.setMarqueeLocation(300, 400);
 mediaPlayer.enableMarquee(true);

With regard to video adjustment controls, after the video has started playing:

 mediaPlayer.setAdjustVideo(true);
 mediaPlayer.setGamma(0.9f);
 mediaPlayer.setHue(10);

Some media when played may cause one or more media sub-items to created. These sub-items subsequently need to be played. The media player can be set to automatically play these sub-items via setPlaySubItems(boolean), otherwise playNextSubItem(String...) can be invoked in response to a MediaPlayerEventListener.finished(MediaPlayer) event.

It is always a better strategy to reuse media player instances, rather than repeatedly creating and destroying instances.

Note that media player implementations will guarantee that native media player events are delivered in a single-threaded sequential manner.

- Method Detail
  - addMediaPlayerEventListener
```
void addMediaPlayerEventListener(MediaPlayerEventListener listener)
```
    Add a component to be notified of media player events.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - component to notify
  - removeMediaPlayerEventListener
```
void removeMediaPlayerEventListener(MediaPlayerEventListener listener)
```
    Remove a component that was previously interested in notifications of media player events.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - component to stop notifying
  - enableEvents
```
void enableEvents(int eventMask)
```
    Restrict the set of media player events that generate event notifications to listeners.
    If a set of events is not explicitly enabled, then it is expected that all events be enabled.
    See MediaPlayerEventType.
    This setting applies to all registered event listeners - it is not (currently) possible to set a different event mask for each listener.
    
    Parameters:
    
    eventMask - bit mask of events to enable
  - setStandardMediaOptions
```
void setStandardMediaOptions(String... mediaOptions)
```
    Set standard media options for all media items subsequently played.
    This will not affect any currently playing media item.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mediaOptions - options to apply to all subsequently played media items
  - playMedia
```
boolean playMedia(String mrl,
                  String... mediaOptions)
```
    Play a new media item, with options.
    The new media will begin play-back asynchronously. This means that some media player functions will likely not work if you invoke them immediately after invoking this method - you will in some circumstances need to wait for an appropriate event to be fired before some API functions will have an effect.
    When playing files, depending on the run-time Operating System it may be necessary to pass a URL here (beginning with "file://") rather than a local file path. This should actually not be required.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mrl - media resource locator
    
    mediaOptions - zero or more media item options
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the media item was created; false otherwise
  - prepareMedia
```
boolean prepareMedia(String mrl,
                     String... mediaOptions)
```
    Prepare a new media item for play-back, but do not begin playing.
    When playing files, depending on the run-time Operating System it may be necessary to pass a URL here (beginning with "file://") rather than a local file path.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mrl - media resource locator
    
    mediaOptions - zero or more media item options
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the media item was created; false otherwise
  - startMedia
```
boolean startMedia(String mrl,
                   String... mediaOptions)
```
    Play a new media item, with options, and wait for it to start playing or error.
    This call will block until the media starts or errors.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mrl - media resource locator
    
    mediaOptions - zero or more media item options
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the media started playing, false if the media failed to start because of an error
  - parseMedia
```
void parseMedia()
```
    Parse local meta data from the current media.
    This method is synchronous.
    Parsing media may cause an HTTP request to be made to search for cover- art.
    Invoking this method on a stream or DVB channel may cause a hang.
  - requestParseMedia
```
void requestParseMedia()
```
    Parse local meta data from the current media.
    This method is asynchronous and a media player event will be raised when the parsed status changes.
    Parsing media may cause an HTTP request to be made to search for cover-art.
    If the media has already been parsed when this function is called then no event will be raised.
    Invoking this method on a stream or DVB channel may cause a hang.
  - requestParseMediaWithOptions
```
boolean requestParseMediaWithOptions(libvlc_media_parse_flag_t... options)
```
    Parse meta data from the current media, with options.
    This method is asynchronous and a media player event will be raised when the parsed status changes.
    Parsing media may cause an HTTP request to be made to search for cover-art.
    If the media has already been parsed when this function is called, or this function returns an error, then no event will be raised.
    If no options are specified, then the file is parsed if it is a local file.
    
    Parameters:
    
    options - optional options
    
    Returns:
    
    true if successful; false on error (or e.g. requires LibVLC 3.0.0)
  - isMediaParsed
```
boolean isMediaParsed()
```
    Test whether or not the current media has been parsed.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the current media has been parsed, otherwise false
  - getMediaMeta
```
MediaMeta getMediaMeta()
```
    Get local meta data for the current media.
    Some media types require that the media be parsed before accessing meta data - it is the responsibility of the client application to parse the media if required, see parseMedia().
    Note that requesting meta data may cause one or more HTTP connections to be made to external web-sites to attempt download of album art.
    
    Returns:
    
    meta data
  - getMediaMeta
```
MediaMeta getMediaMeta(libvlc_media_t mediaInstance)
```
    Get local meta data for a media instance.

```
    Get local meta data for all of the current media sub-items (if there are any).
    See getMediaMeta(), the same notes with regard to parsing hold here.
    
    Returns:
    
    collection of meta data for the media sub-items

  - setRepeat
```
void setRepeat(boolean repeat)
```
    Set whether or not the media player should automatically repeat playing the media when it has finished playing.
    There is no guarantee of seamless play-back when using this method - see instead MediaListPlayer.
    If the media has sub-items, then it is the sub-items that are repeated.
    
    Parameters:
    
    repeat - true to automatically replay the media, otherwise false
  - getRepeat
```
boolean getRepeat()
```
    Test whether or not the media player will automatically repeat playing the media when it has finished playing.

    width - desired image width
    
    height - desired image height
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the snapshot was saved, otherwise false
  - getSnapshot
```
BufferedImage getSnapshot()
```
    Get a snapshot of the currently playing video.
    The size of the image will be that produced by the libvlc native snapshot function, i.e. the size of the media itself.
    This implementation uses the native libvlc method to save a snapshot of the currently playing video. This snapshot is saved to a temporary file and then the resultant image is loaded from the file.
    Taking a snapshot is an asynchronous function, the snapshot is not available until after the MediaPlayerEventListener.snapshotTaken(MediaPlayer, String) event is received.
    
    Returns:
    
    snapshot image, or null if a snapshot could not be taken
  - getSnapshot
```
BufferedImage getSnapshot(int width,
                          int height)
```
    Get a snapshot of the currently playing video.
    This implementation uses the native libvlc method to save a snapshot of the currently playing video. This snapshot is saved to a temporary file and then the resultant image is loaded from the file.
    If one of width or height is zero the original image aspect ratio will be preserved.
    If both width and height are zero, the original image size will be used, see getSnapshot()
    Taking a snapshot is an asynchronous function, the snapshot is not available until after the MediaPlayerEventListener.snapshotTaken(MediaPlayer, String) event is received.
    
    Parameters:
    
    width - desired image width
    
    height - desired image height
    
    Returns:
    
    snapshot image, or null if a snapshot could not be taken
