simple play test of video not working

Carsten Busse29 Jul 2011 7:17 AM
Hello all,

I just started evaluating the wdk and have problems in getting a simple video to run inside the simulator.

The documentation says, that for a simple test I simply have to start the simulator and then can enter

tv.mediaPlayer.load("URI");
tv.mediaPlayer.play();

to play a video for testing.

This does not work here, although I test it on the unchanged ubuntu virtual machine.

Gstreamer works flawlessly on this machine with the videos,
I tested it with own videos and with the ones used in the mediaplayer sample widget with no luck so far.

What could I be missing?

Can we see the code you&#39;re using? &nbsp;The URI must point to your video and be a string (in quotes)<br><br><div class="quote "><div class="quotetop ">QUOTE<cite>(Carsten Busse @ 29 Jul 2011 7:17 AM)</cite><blockquote class="quotemain">Hello all,<br><br>I just started evaluating the wdk and have problems in getting a simple video to run inside the simulator.<br><br>The documentation says, that for a simple test I simply have to start the simulator and then can enter<br><br>tv.mediaPlayer.load(&quot;URI&quot;);<br>tv.mediaPlayer.play();<br><br>to play a video for testing.<br><br>This does not work here, although I test it on the unchanged ubuntu virtual machine.<br><br>Gstreamer works flawlessly on this machine with the videos,<br>I tested it with own videos and with the ones used in the mediaplayer sample widget with no luck so far.<br><br>What could I be missing?</blockquote></div></div>
