JavaFX MediaPlayer - Music stops after 10 seconds

Question

Here's the code, like the title says the music stops after 10ish seconds, i played the file normally in vlc or other programs, it lasts more than 5 minutes.

public void music(){
        String bip = "src/data/fjordmusic.mp3";
        Media hit = new Media(Paths.get(bip).toUri().toString());
        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(hit);
        mediaPlayer.play();
    }

Answer 1

Your question was already asked and answered here: MediaPlayer stop playing after about 5 seconds

It seems that the garbage collector ereases the MediaPlayer instance after finishing the method. Put the declaration of MediaPlayer above the method and it should work.

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer
public void music(){
    String bip = "src/data/fjordmusic.mp3";
    Media hit = new Media(Paths.get(bip).toUri().toString());
    mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(hit);
    mediaPlayer.play();
}

Answer 2

Try AudioClip instead:

javafx.scene.media.AudioClip;

    public void music(){
        String bip = "src/data/fjordmusic.mp3";
        Media hit = new Media(Paths.get(bip).toUri().toString());
        AudioClip mediaPlayer = new AudioClip(hit.getSource());
        mediaPlayer.play();
    }
