Java Media Framework Player API

Example JMFApplet

These JMF player applets illustrate how one can easily and quickly create a simple applet that can load various media types (a 580KB wav audio file and a 4MB QuickTime movie), ascertain the appropriate visual and control components to make available, and play back the multimedia files. Note that the files may require several minutes to download to your machine depending upon your connection speed.

Both of the following players are instances of the JMFApplet. They are built and displayed in a stopped state, so you need to press the play button to start the players. Try the various controls to get a feel for what can be done with JMF Players.

Note that the actual appearance of the controls may vary from platform to platform. More detailed information on the types of controls and components that may be returned is available in the JMF Player Guide and API documentation.

If you have problems with these applets, you may not have JMF Player support correctly installed for your platform. Please see the Resources in the JMF Player API article for URLs from which you can find instructions for downloading, installing, and troubleshooting JMF Player support.
