JavaFX 2 media player's inability to play mp4 media files
mambhaJan 23 2013 — edited Jan 30 2013I am new to this forum and new to JavaFX 2. I have been developing Java Swing applications for a long time. In my current application (a stand-alone desktop application), I added a media player using JavaFX 2 for the first time. The application is run using JRE 1.7.0_10 and JavaFx 2.2.4-b18. The media player works well in most cases. My testing on 64-bit Windows 7 machines showed no issues for the media files I attempted to play.
However, when the same application was tried with the same media files on a 64-bit Windows Vista machine, the few mp4 media files I was using failed to play. The media player is reporting the error "GStreamer encountered a general stream error". (Other media files, including flv files, played OK.)
Is this a codec issue? If so, can someone please point to the correct codec to install? (I tried DivX Plus, but that didn't help.)
I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue. Thanks!
