dshow demux error: can't open video device

Postby thommydb » 05 Dec 2013 13:15

I have the following code to play video camera but always paint the black screen...

Code: Select all

package foo; import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Canvas; import java.awt.Color; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.UIManager; import uk.co.caprica.vlcj.player.MediaPlayerFactory; import uk.co.caprica.vlcj.player.embedded.DefaultFullScreenStrategy; import uk.co.caprica.vlcj.player.embedded.EmbeddedMediaPlayer; import uk.co.caprica.vlcj.player.embedded.FullScreenStrategy; import uk.co.caprica.vlcj.player.embedded.videosurface.CanvasVideoSurface; import com.sun.jna.NativeLibrary; public class RoboControlStart1 { //construct the aplication public RoboControlStart1() { Canvas canvas = new Canvas(); canvas.setBackground(Color.black); JPanel contentPane = new JPanel(); contentPane.setBackground(Color.black); contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); contentPane.add(canvas, BorderLayout.CENTER); JFrame frame = new JFrame("Capture"); frame.add(contentPane, BorderLayout.CENTER); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.setLocation(50, 50); frame.setSize(800, 600); // Set some options for libvlc String[] libvlcArgs = {}; // Create a factory MediaPlayerFactory mediaPlayerFactory = new MediaPlayerFactory(libvlcArgs); // Create a full-screen strategy FullScreenStrategy fullScreenStrategy = new DefaultFullScreenStrategy(frame); // Create a media player instance (in this example an embedded media player) EmbeddedMediaPlayer mediaPlayer = mediaPlayerFactory.newEmbeddedMediaPlayer(fullScreenStrategy); // Set standard options as needed to be applied to all subsequently played media items String[] standardMediaOptions = {}; mediaPlayer.setStandardMediaOptions(standardMediaOptions); CanvasVideoSurface videoSurface = mediaPlayerFactory.newVideoSurface(canvas); mediaPlayer.setVideoSurface(videoSurface); // Play a particular item, with options if necessary String mediaPath = "dshow://"; String[] mediaOptions = {" :dshow-vdev=HP HD Webcam [Fixed] :dshow-adev= :dshow-aspect-ratio=4\\:3 :dshow-chroma= :dshow-fps=0 :no-dshow-config :no-dshow-tuner :dshow-tuner-channel=0 :dshow-tuner-frequency=0 :dshow-tuner-country=0 :dshow-tuner-standard=0 :dshow-tuner-input=0 :dshow-video-input=-1 :dshow-video-output=-1 :dshow-audio-input=-1 :dshow-audio-output=-1 :dshow-amtuner-mode=1 :dshow-audio-channels=0 :dshow-audio-samplerate=0 :dshow-audio-bitspersample=0 :live-caching=300"}; frame.setVisible(true); mediaPlayer.prepareMedia(mediaPath, mediaOptions); mediaPlayer.play(); } public static void main(String[] args) { NativeLibrary.addSearchPath("libvlc", "C:/Program Files/VideoLAN/VLC"); try { UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } new RoboControlStart1(); } }
I can read this in console:

I can't say why dshow:// is not working for you, but your code has other problems IMHO.

You need to keep a hard-reference to the MediaPlayerFactory and the MediaPlayer instances (e.g. class variables) otherwise they become eligible for garbage collection when your constructor exits - if you don't then some time later your application will, apparently randomly, crash.
