I'm using VideoPlayer in my app. It play everything fine but when I want to scroll on the media player's bar, usually it gives me the error : Sorry, this video cannot be played. and I have to restart the video to watch it again. All I found is if I stop the video and scroll the bar it will be fine. I just wonder how can I fix this problem ? how can I access to media player's bar. Hens I can pause the video onClick. My code:
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(
rootView.getContext());
mediaController.setAnchorView(video);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(passVideo.file_link);
video.setMediaController(mediaController);
video.setVideoURI(uri);
video.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer arg0) {
mProgress.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
video.requestFocus();
video.start();
}
});
Many people get this error like you,

You can find out at Sorry, this video is not valid for streaming to this device in Http streaming android

I am trying to play two video views using the same media controller but it seems impossible to play them and stop them and seek through both at the same time
can someone suggest a solution here is what I am trying :
//2 video views
videoview=(VideoView)findviewbyid(R.id.videowview);
videoviewtwo=(VideoView)findviewbyid(R.id.videowview2);
//the media controller
MediaController mc =new MediaController(this);
//setting uri for both:
videoview.setVideoURI(uri);
videoviewtwo.setVideoURI(uri1);
//setting same media controller object for both
videoview.setMediaController(mc);
videoviewtwo.setMediaController(mc);
//finally start both
videoview.Start();
videoviewtwo.Start();
after this both play well at the first time but when I try to repeat only one starts the other doesnt, thank you for your help.
Edit: I want them both to play at the same time each time I repeat the process .
You need to release and set the mediaplayer to null before you can start the new video. Try to call this when the video has stopped and before you start a new video so you know that the mediaplayer is not busy.
private void releaseMediaPlayer() {
mMediaPlayer.release();
mMediaPlayer = null;
}
So next is to find out when the mediaplayer have stopped playing your video. A hint: MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener
I am trying to load the following free online camera in my app (site: http://www.earthcam.com)
for example, this video.
and I found the video address by IDM (http://video3.earthcam.com/fecnetwork/5187.flv/chunklist_w664887517.m3u8)
I loaded the video in my app with the following code:
String VideoURL = "http://video3.earthcam.com/fecnetwork/5187.flv/chunklist_w664887517.m3u8";
MediaController mediacontroller = new MediaController(MainActivity.this);
mediacontroller.setAnchorView(videoview);
// Get the URL from String VideoURL
Uri video = Uri.parse(VideoURL);
videoview.setMediaController(mediacontroller);
videoview.setVideoURI(video);
videoview.requestFocus();
videoview.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
// Close the progress bar and play the video
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
videoview.start();
}
});
Now I have two problems
How can I play the video in my app with the original url(for example www.earthcam.com/usa/illinois/chicago/field/?cam=fieldmuseum)
How can I display all tools (zoom in, zoom out, volume, stop, pause, like, view, map, etc.)
First question why the video is not playing: the support of a livestream in MediaController is limited. I would suggest you to ExoPlayer https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer
It should handle a livestream playback.
Second question: in order to display all tools that you mentioned you would need an access to the control of the camera either via API or via URL parameters. Then you would need to add this buttons as an overlay on top of the video player and connect buttons to the API calls. However, I don't think that EarthCam provides public API for a camera control.
I'm trying to create a activity with a Video Player.
The problem is that in some devices (ex. Android 4.0.4) when I try to play local video the VideoView shows LogCat error :
MediaPlayer(6757): Error (1,-2147483648)
And on screen:
"Cannot play video. Sorry, this video cannot be played"
The videos be recorded with MediaRecorder and this is the config of MediaRecorder
public boolean initRecorder(){
myRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
myRecorder.setCamera(myCamera);
myRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER);
myRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
myRecorder.setProfile(CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH));
myRecorder.setOutputFile(getVideoFilePath()); //videopath.mp4
myRecorder.setVideoSize(size.width, size.height);
myRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(mySurfaceHolder.getSurface());
if(prepareRecorder()) return true;
else return false;
}
And played with VideoView like this:
VideoView vidDisplay = (VideoView) viewLayout.findViewById(R.id.vidDisplay);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(_imagePaths.get(position));
vidDisplay.setVideoURI(uri);
vidDisplay.setMediaController(new MediaController(_activity));
vidDisplay.requestFocus();
vidDisplay.start();
EDIT:
The problem is related to the user permissions of the video. Is there a way to create aguna videos with MediaRecorder with read permissions for everyone?
I tried to open the file and then make setReadable(true) but this not work
Can someone help me?
Thanks

I'm using the following code to play a .mp4 video on my android device. I have 3 problems,
using this code when I press the back button on the device the sound would still continoue to play
It doesn't play the video, only plays the sound!
I don't know how to get controller for the video so the user can stop the video, go back or forth on the video.
VideoView videoHolder = new VideoView(this);
videoHolder.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
Uri myUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.drawable.video);
videoHolder.setVideoURI(myUri);
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(), myUri);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
mediaPlayer.start();
videoHolder.requestFocus();
videoHolder.start();
1) Override onBackPressed in your activity:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
mediaPlayer.stopPlayback();
super.onBackPressed();
}
2) Is it a valid video format? Are you using emulator or a real device? If you use an emulator, try a real device instead. I recall similar issues before.
But I also notice: did you put your video in the drawable folder?
R.drawable.video
I don't think that will work, you cannot play videos from there. Use the resources/raw folder instead. btw: Audio can be played from assets folder directly, while video cannot; video can only played from the raw folder or if you copy it to the apps files folder (getFilesDir()) - or sdcard of course.
3) Why are you using a VideoView AND a MediaPlayer, instead of just a VideoView? You should get rid of the mediaPlayer and just use the VideoView. This line
videoHolder.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
looks correct and sets the media controller, with which the user can seek in the video.
Programatically you can also use seekTo() to go back and forth in a video.
VideoView videoView =(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vv01);
//specify the location of media file
Uri myUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.login_footage);
//Setting MediaController and URI, then starting the videoView
videoView.setVideoURI(myUri);
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
This worked for me
