javafx 2 MediaException: MEDIA_UNAVAILABLE 不会加载文件

Question

I'm trying to run an flv file in javafx2. My code is the following:

Media media = new Media("file:///C:/Users/Darren/workspace/player/src/player/football.flv");
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(media);
MediaView view = new MediaView(player);

root.getChildren().add(view);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 400, Color.BLACK);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();

player.play();

I get the following error:

Caused by: MediaException: MEDIA_UNAVAILABLE : C:\Users\Darren\workspace\player\src\player\football.flv (The system cannot find the file specified)

I have checked out similar posts on here. I have also tried storing the video file in different places and tried loads of different ways of accessing it.

The path to the file is:

C:\\Users\\Darren\\workspace\\player\\src\\player

Am I missing anything obvious here?

Answer 1

When working with file paths it is always a good idea to use getClass().getResource("/PATH/RELATIVE/TO/SRC").toExternalForm()

In that case your code is going to have to look like this:

Media media = new Media(getClass().getResource("/player/football.flv").toExternalForm());
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(media);
player.play();

Also it is a good idea to keep a Resources folder within you src and segregate files within it. Something like this:

├───src/
│   ├───Other Packages/
│   ├───Resources/
│   │   ├───Sound/
.   .   .
.   .   .
