Hi: I read the whole thread. I get the same exception:

Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: com.sun.media.jmcimpl.plugins.directshow.DShowEngine.ndsInit()Z

at com.sun.media.jmcimpl.plugins.directshow.DShowEngine.ndsInit(Native Method)

at....

I follow up all replies. My config:
WXP SP3
JDK 6u12
JFX 1.1
P5 1.0.3
K-LITE 4.7.0 FULL

GSVideo doesn't work either.
I've got two XP systems in the same HD. The windows installation I'm currently developing is located in:

H:\WINDOWS.0\
H:\Program Files_2\

does it have something to do?

Everything else work fine on both installations.
Tryied jmcvideo on the other installation and got the same.

Any thoughts?
thank you very much !

Hi Angus:
Yeah... thats what I think but it doesn't work and I cant figure out what's going on.
Examples doesn't work either. Sketches not even starts due to the exception.
Don't you think something could be happening related to the windows installation issue I posted? I mean because of the UnsatisfiedLinkError. I don't know how java reads file paths. One hypothesis could be that something is scrambled in the windows registry.
It's that possible?
I tryed .MOV (DV), .flv, .wmv and nothing.

I'll keep on trying


regards !

Hey am having trouble running a sketch - its only running bout a third of the time, i keep getting an array out of bounds error
Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Coordinate out of bounds!

or it just comes up as a black square behind the bubble.
Just been running it on vista home basic with a variety of different formats .mov .avi etc same problem.

My problems at the moment are

1.How to get multiple videos in without crashing the system-
  need to get 2 live streams and 2 .mov files.
2 How to blend the video within the bubble using a mask png to cover the edges.

Appologies for the messy code

import jmcvideo.*;
JMCMovie myMovie;

Bubble mybubble;
PImage bubble;
PImage img;
PImage cover;



void setup() {
  mybubble = new Bubble();
  size (600, 600);
  bubble = loadImage( "bubble_big.png");
  img = loadImage("airport2.jpg");
  cover = loadImage("bubble-mask2.png");
  myMovie = new JMCMovie(this,"angrycat.flv");
  myMovie.loop();

}

 void movieEvent(JMCMovie myMovie) {
 myMovie.read();
}

void draw (){
  background(0,0,250);
  mybubble.move();
  mybubble.display ();
}

 
 class Bubble { //define class
 float xpos;  // variables
 float ypos;
 float xspeed;
 
 Bubble() {  //constuctor
 
 xpos = width/4;
 ypos = height/4;
 xspeed = 1;
 }
 
 void display() {   //function
 img.mask(cover);
 //image(cover, xpos,ypos,200,200);
 image(img, xpos, ypos,100,100);
 //bubble.blend(img,0,0,100,100,0,0,100,100,ADD);
 image(bubble,xpos,ypos,100,100); // Draw image
 }
 
void move() {  //function
 xpos = xpos + xspeed;
 if (xpos > width) {
 xpos = 0;
 }
 }
  }

Hi, yes it is possible to stream videos over http using the jmcvideo library. I've posted an example in this thread. Basically you just need to pass in an URL instead of a String. I was able to stream flv, mov, and ogg using OSX. You'll need to use the VideoGL class at the moment (which is faster anyway). I will be making an update which lets you use the PImage version (JMCMovie) class over http as well, but I want to investigate some possible memory leaks before I make the next update available.

Hi, the code/vid for MoviePainter by Eric Nguyen might help you with blending/masking a video. It's at: http://mindtangle.net/2009/02/23/moviepainter

I'm not sure what the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is exactly. I'll do some tests with multiple streams and see if I can replicate. Some of my demos are using 4 or 5 movies simultaneously and I haven't noticed any issues (on OSX).

@spiraljetty

Thanks a lot for the advice. It worked. I also saw your original post in this same very thread and then read your advice above. Tried it and it worked. It finally attempted to load the video and then I had to install the k-lite pack to get the ogg example to use.

In response to the question above of having videos loading issues before the app. Well I tried two methods and they both worked. I experience the same loading times. So I came up with the two methods, however the first one is the most useful. The second is only for the random backgrounds.

Method 1:
Since before I was using JMCVideo, I was using the quicktime library. To get around the loading times. I created a batch file that creates a text file of all the specified filenames in the \Sketch_folder\data\ folder

Example
dir *.jpg,*.png,*.bmp,*.jpeg,*.pct,*.mpeg,*.avi,*.mov,*.mpeg,*.ogg /on /b >files.txt

For this purpose use just media files
Example
dir *.mpg,*.avi,*.mov,*.mpeg,*.ogg,*.mp4,*.wmv /on /b >files.txt

Now you can have multiple file extensions but before I was using the quicktime library, but with JMCVideo I can have all kinds of media files streaming simultaneously.

The second line of the .bat file would be to launch the .exe in the autonamed application.windows folder or whichever folder is created. The batch file can reside directly in the data folder or in the application.windows root folder.. just simply put data\ before the file extensions... however I have found, regardless of the files being in the data folder or in the root folder of the .exe; Processing seems to find them somehow.

Once the sketch is launched the text file can be read line by line and the filenames of the video are in the array. Once they are in the array then can be called at will. As for loading a movie array..this works but I have no control over the pre-loading it takes to put all the movies in the array; which kinda defeats the purpose of the filenames in the array.

One can write a procedure to handle each file based on it's extension. However this is optional.

Method 2
Load a text file <auto generated> or simply typed by hand. Each line would contain the location of each file or movie on the system as well as URL's
Example
1.http://www.movie-list.net/classics121807/bladerunner_tsr_h640_ml.mov
2.c:\movies\park-ride.mov
3.transformers.mov
4.opportunity.jpeg
1 - URL  2-Physical drive location 3. Data folder default 4.Photo (this is where the procedure to determine the files by extension could be useful)

I have found doing this bridges the gap of not having the files embedded in the Application.Windows program. I can add links to movies to an already compiled sketch. Also I have found when I get better at Processing, I can devise a way to dispose of each video after I have looped a pre-determined amount of times. I would like to start loading a specified video so when one movie ends it coincides with the completion of another video. I would like to attain smooth transitions. I have not been able to do it as yet. There is still a visible jump from one movie to the other. I want to get to the point I can fade one movie out and fade the other movie in.

Also I have managed to get the realtime-masking of the background video done pretty well. I have it with multimple videos in the forefront and as the background and backlayer , multiple images in both background, foreground and backlayer and 3D rotational as well. When I click a specified colour of the desired clip, I can optionally change the entire video to the specified hue or simply remove the colour alltogether to reveal the jpeg,bmp, or even the streaming video behind. ALL THIS AND ROTATIONAL as well..PROCESSING ROCKS!

Right now I am trying to get the background as a totally different sketch. However I am only so far able to get  it run as the forefront and using keystrokes to remove layers from it until I can phase into the back sketch.

I LOVE PROCESSING!

@pcho

Hi, thanks. You can use play() instead of loop() and the video will stop at the end of playback instead of looping. You can also use bounce() to have it reverse playback (only works with some formats).

Processing's export application will let you specify which operating systems you want to export to. However, you will have to copy in the native files for each distribution. For instance if you create the sketch on OSX and want to export to Windows, you will have to replace the .jnilib files with the .dll files from the jmcvideo windows distribution. Also, you will probably have to copy in the data folder to the application directory. If you need more details let me know.

HTH, Angus

Hi,

I've made a series of bug fixes and updates to jmcvideo largely in response to the helpful comments on this thread. It is now hosted on github if you want to look at the source code or clone the project. The "switchVideo" methods are all working, the memory leak is fixed, the play/bounce/loop methods all do what they are supposed to, there are constructors for videos named by URL, URI, File, or String, and I've made the methods for the PImage version and the openGL version more similar. There are some slight syntax changes, so take a look at the basic demos (VideoLoop and VideoLoopGL) for examples. The main one is that "VideoGL" was refactored and is now named "JMCMovieGL".

@lot

Hi, I haven't tested at all on any linux platform except for ubuntu 8.04. VideoLoopGL *should* work fine on Ubuntu (and Windows and OSX). I am also able to run the VideoLoop sketch using size(w,h,OPENGL) as well as size(w,h,P2D). It doesn't sound like it's a codec issue since the PImage version is working for you. Do other JOGL/openGL projects work for you? Let me know if you are able to resolve this.
