Hi all,
now that I’ve waited enough years to FINALLY play Videos on all platforms with JavaFX/Java8, my happiness couldn’t be bigger. Actually it could, if I solve my very last problem.
The video is played from within a Slick2D game, which builds up on a completely different graphical framework. I don’t know how to embed a JavaFX container in Slick, so I planned to just open a second JavaFX video and dispose it once the video has finished.
That works fine. Once.
I didn’t read the manual carefully enough that says that Application.launch(…) can be called only exactly once. so If I want to show the video a second time, I can’t start the Video-Container like that. I thought, no problem, let’s recycle the object then and just hide the window instead. Unfortunately, through the static way that you launch the application, there is no way to obtain a reference to the Java-FX container object.
What I have to do is:
Application.launch(VideoPlayer.class)
What I want to do is:
VidePlayer player = Application.launch(VideoPlayer.class);
...
player.reset();
player.start();
There must be way to control the Java-FX container or not??
