Hi everyone,

I've been working on an application that displays a video using MMAPI classes. And these are the things I have done. I made a class which its sole job is for initialization and starting the video playback. Inside this class is where the player is initialized and started. Below is the code snippet of my VideoClass;

class VideoClass {

Canvas canvas;

public VideoClass(Canvas canvas) {
this.canvas = canvas;
}

void initializePlayer () {
try {
Player p = Manager.createPlayer("http://mymachine/abc.mpg");
p.realize();
VideoControl vc;
if ((vc = (VideoControl)p.getControl("VideoControl")) != null) {
vc.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO, canvas);
vc.setVisible(true);
}
p.prefetch();
} catch (MediaException pe) {
} catch (IOException ioe) {
}
}

void play() {
try {
player.start();
}catch(MediaException me) {}
}

Now I have several classes that use VideoClass in order to play the video. However, audio is playing but the video is not displayed. The code snippet below is how I invoke VideoClass;

VideoClass vc = new VideoClass(this);
vc.initializePlayer();
vc.play();

Is there anything wrong with these? Because if ever I subclass VideoClass with Canvas and then play video from there, it works fine, that is, audio and video(is shown) is played.

Canvas is an abstract class, so the correct way of using it is, indeed, by subclassing it and playing the video using the instantiated subclass.
