Question

Java: If anybody can teach me how to run a video in a JFrame, let me know :D

Answer 1

Here is an example that you can play around with. This is straight from the horse's mouth (Oracle):

import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.Timer;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.io.File;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.media.*;


class Play extends JFrame
{

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private static JPanel playVideoPanel;
private static JLabel displayLabel1;
private static Timer timer;
private static Player player;
private static JPanel videoPanel;

public void playGUI(){

JFrame frame= new JFrame();
playVideoPanel = new JPanel();
playVideoPanel.setBounds(0, 0, 1024, 768);
playVideoPanel.setLayout(null);

// Label to show the Text
displayLabel1 = new JLabel( "Playing The Video");
displayLabel1.setBounds( 50, 150, 800, 50);///,
displayLabel1.setFont( new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 36 ));

// Adding video clip to the JPanel screen
videoPanel=new JPanel();
try{
player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(new MediaLocator( new File("C://DELTA.mpg").toURL() ) );
videoPanel.add(player.getVisualComponent());
videoPanel.setBounds( 30, 215, 500, 400 );
final Control controls[]=player.getControls();
player.start();
add(player.getControlPanelComponent());
}catch(Exception ee){}

playVideoPanel.add(displayLabel1);
frame.add(playVideoPanel);
frame.add(videoPanel);
//setSize(1024, 768);
timer = new Timer(10000, new AutoTimer());
timer.start();

frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.setSize(1024, 768);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
// this will display the main screen after playing the video
class AutoTimer implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

}
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {

Play play= new Play();
play.playGUI();

}
});
}

}
