In my previous article “How to write a Media Player in JavaFX using NetBeans IDE – Part 1 “ I showed you how to to create Media Player where in this post I am going to show you how to add all the functionality into it.
The start
To start we have to once again modify the start , therefore replace the start with the following lines of code. This modification will allow you to add all the functionality to the buttons and convert the Media player to the NetBeans plugin in the future.
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
private Label time;
Duration duration;
Button fullScreenButton;
Scene scene;
Media media;
double width;
double height;
MediaView mediaView;
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
scene = setScene(this.width, this.height);
primaryStage.setTitle("Media Player!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}Press Alt+Shift+F on your keyboard to format the code in NetBeans.
Add setScene() method
public Scene setScene(double width, double height) {
this.height = height;
this.width = width;
//Add your own path of the vidio that you want to play
String path = "F:/MediaPl/src/mediapl/Tom and Jerry Beach YouTube.mp4";
media = new Media(new File(path).toURI().toString());
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
//AutoPlay set to false
mediaPlayer.setAutoPlay(false);
mediaView = new MediaView(mediaPlayer);
// DropShadow effect
DropShadow dropshadow = new DropShadow();
dropshadow.setOffsetY(5.0);
dropshadow.setOffsetX(5.0);
dropshadow.setColor(Color.WHITE);
mediaView.setEffect(dropshadow);
BorderPane borderPane = new BorderPane();
borderPane.setCenter(mediaView);
borderPane.setBottom(addToolBar());
borderPane.setStyle("-fx-background-color: Black");
scene = new Scene(borderPane, 600, 600);
scene.setFill(Color.BLACK);
return scene;
}
Add functionality to the Buttons:
playButton
playButton.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
mediaPlayer.play();
});
pauseButton:
pauseButton.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
mediaPlayer.pause();
});
forwardButton:
forwardButton.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
mediaPlayer.seek(mediaPlayer.getCurrentTime().multiply(1.5));
});
backButton:
backButton.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
mediaPlayer.seek(mediaPlayer.getCurrentTime().divide(1.5));
});
firstButton:
firstButton.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
mediaPlayer.seek(mediaPlayer.getStartTime());
mediaPlayer.stop();
});
lastButton:
lastButton.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
mediaPlayer.seek(mediaPlayer.getTotalDuration());
mediaPlayer.stop();
});
reloadButton:
reloadButton.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
mediaPlayer.seek(mediaPlayer.getStartTime());
});
fullscreenButton:
The action to this particular button has to be added to the start just before primaryStage.show(); line of code
fullScreenButton.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
if (primaryStage.isFullScreen()) {
primaryStage.setFullScreen(false);
} else {
primaryStage.setFullScreen(true);
}
});
filesButton:
filesButton.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
FileChooser fc = new FileChooser();
fc.getExtensionFilters().add(new ExtensionFilter("*.flv", "*.mp4", "*.mpeg"));
File file = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
String path = file.getAbsolutePath();
path = path.replace("\\", "/");
media = new Media(new File(path).toURI().toString());
mediaPlayer.stop();
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
mediaPlayer.setAutoPlay(true);
mediaView.setMediaPlayer(mediaPlayer);
});time Label:
time = new Label();
time.setTextFill(Color.YELLOW);
time.setPrefWidth(80);
mediaPlayer.currentTimeProperty().addListener((Observable ov) -> {
updateValues();
});
mediaPlayer.setOnReady(() -> {
duration = mediaPlayer.getMedia().getDuration();
updateValues();
});
Add updateValues() method
protected void updateValues() {
if (time != null) {
runLater(() -> {
Duration currentTime = mediaPlayer.getCurrentTime();
time.setText(formatTime(currentTime, duration));
});
}
}
Add formatTime() method
private static String formatTime(Duration elapsed, Duration duration) {
int intElapsed = (int) floor(elapsed.toSeconds());
int elapsedHours = intElapsed / (60 * 60);
if (elapsedHours > 0) {
intElapsed -= elapsedHours * 60 * 60;
}
int elapsedMinutes = intElapsed / 60;
int elapsedSeconds = intElapsed - elapsedHours * 60 * 60
- elapsedMinutes * 60;
if (duration.greaterThan(Duration.ZERO)) {
int intDuration = (int) floor(duration.toSeconds());
int durationHours = intDuration / (60 * 60);
if (durationHours > 0) {
intDuration -= durationHours * 60 * 60;
}
int durationMinutes = intDuration / 60;
int durationSeconds = intDuration - durationHours * 60 * 60
- durationMinutes * 60;
if (durationHours > 0) {
return format("%d:%02d:%02d/%d:%02d:%02d",
elapsedHours, elapsedMinutes, elapsedSeconds,
durationHours, durationMinutes, durationSeconds);
} else {
return format("%02d:%02d/%02d:%02d",
elapsedMinutes, elapsedSeconds, durationMinutes,
durationSeconds);
}
} else {
if (elapsedHours > 0) {
return format("%d:%02d:%02d", elapsedHours,
elapsedMinutes, elapsedSeconds);
} else {
return format("%02d:%02d", elapsedMinutes,
elapsedSeconds);
}
}
}The updateValues and formatTime methods was taken from the Oracle tutorial: “3 Controlling Media Playback” which can be found here.
All done!
So that is all the code that allows you to create Media Player in JavaFx. You can also create a NetBeans plugin using this code. If your interested on how to do so please follow my previous articles:

I hope you found this guide useful, let us know what you think.
Our software libraries allow you to

| Convert PDF Documents to an image |
| Work with PDF Documents in Java |
| Read and write HEIC and other Image formats in Java |
thanks a lot 🙂 , good job 🙂
Thanks 🙂
in to uri.tostring there should be a error of incompatible of file into string and there is no option of mediaview. i think u understand what can i write…..plz sugeest a solution
Hi, It could be because you haven’t downloaded any media or the directory path isn’t pointing to the place where the media is being kept? Try checking these things and letting me know if the problem still persists. Thank you.
thanks, 🙂
Thanks Sir a lot.
I’m a beginner at JavaFX.
THANKS NOW I CAN CREATE A SMART MEDIA PLAYER NETBEANS S THE BEST PLATFORM FOR JAVA

Sir, this is my whole code. But it is not working. It keep on throwing Exception. Please correct my mistakes and let me know ASAP. Thank You.
Thanks for this man, a real eye opener. Though it will be a milestone to completely transition from swing to JFX
Great Job! Did you notice the bug in the oracle code for formatTime? It doesn’t work right if the movie is over an hour long.
Bugs. Bugs. Bugs.
Bugs. Bugs.Bugs.
Wonderful Bugs. Wonderful Bugs! Yes I have gone stark raving mad.
Here is a fix by the way……..
private static String formatTime(Duration elapsed, Duration duration) {
if (elapsed.greaterThan(Duration.ZERO) && duration.greaterThan(Duration.ZERO)) {
long duration_ms = (long) Math.floor(duration.toMillis());
long elapsed_ms = (long) Math.floor(elapsed.toMillis());
return String.format(“%s%s of %s”,”Duration “, milliToHourFormat(elapsed_ms), milliToHourFormat(duration_ms));
} else {
return “”;
}
}
private static String milliToHourFormat(long milliseconds) {
int seconds = (int) (milliseconds / 1000) % 60;
int minutes = (int) ((milliseconds / (1000 * 60)) % 60);
int hours = (int) ((milliseconds / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
if (hours > 0) {
sb.append(hours);
sb.append(“:”);
}
if (minutes < 10) {
sb.append("0");
sb.append(minutes);
sb.append(":");
} else {
sb.append(minutes);
sb.append(":");
}
if (seconds < 10) {
sb.append("0");
sb.append(seconds);
} else {
sb.append(seconds);
}
return sb.toString();
}
Enjoy!
