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:
