Interface IMediaReader

  • All Superinterfaces:
    IMediaCoder, IMediaGenerator
    public interface IMediaReader
extends IMediaCoder
    An IMediaCoder that reads and decodes media from an IContainer.

    An IMediaReader opens up a media container, reads packets from it, decodes the data, and then dispatches information about the data to any registered IMediaListener objects. The main method of interest is readPacket().

    Here's an example of a very simple program that prints out a line when the IMediaReader decides to open a container. 

      IMediaDebugListener myListener = new MediaListenerAdapter(){
    public void onOpen(IMediaGenerator pipe) {
      System.out.println("opened: " + ((IMediaReader)pipe).getUrl());
    }
  };
  IMediaReader reader = ToolFactory.makeReader("myinputfile.flv");
  reader.addListener(myListener);
  while(reader.readPacket() == null)
    ;

    And here's a slightly more involved example where we read a file and display it on screen in real-time: 

      IMediaReader reader = ToolFactory.makeReader("myinputfile.flv");
  reader.addListener(ToolFactory.makeViewer());
  while(reader.readPacket() == null)
    ;
