Hi, I'm using the reset() now. There's a little bump in the playback every time it reaches the end of the content that existed in the file when it was initially loaded which I don't like but I'm using prepareAsync so I think this hiccup is as small as I can make it with a single VideoView.
Thanks for your help. -jm On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 11:16 AM, Daniel Drozdzewski <[email protected]> wrote: > John-Marc, > > I have not done this myself, but here is tutorial on how to do it: > http://blog.pocketjourney.com/2008/04/04/tutorial-custom-media-streaming-for-androids-mediaplayer/ > > They actually create new MediaPlayer object upon every update to the > buffer file and point this new MediaPlayer to the updated buffer every > single time. > > I would test calling MediaPlayer.reset() first instead of creating new > player object every time, to see whether time and memory consumed by > such solution is a bit better. > > HTH, > > Daniel > > > > > > On 30 January 2012 15:49, John-Marc Desmarais <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I am currently writing a video file to the SDCard while playing it >> with VideoView. >> >> My problem is that, if I buffer 1MB of video and begin the Video >> playback, the video stops after 1MB has been played, even though by >> this time, 5MBs of file has now been written to the sdcard. >> >> I have been trying various things in onCompletion handler.. such as: >> int curLoc = mp.getCurrentPosition(); >> Log.e(LogName.onCompletion, LogName.onCompletion + >> "CurrentLocation: >> " + mp.getCurrentPosition()); >> Log.e(LogName.onCompletion, LogName.onCompletion + "Duration: >> " + >> mp.getDuration()); >> mp.pause(); >> mp.prepareAsync(); >> mp.start(); >> mp.seekTo(curLoc); >> >> In this case I get a "Cannot play video" message. >> >> Or: >> int curLoc = mp.getCurrentPosition(); >> Log.e(LogName.onCompletion, LogName.onCompletion + >> "CurrentLocation: >> " + mp.getCurrentPosition()); >> Log.e(LogName.onCompletion, LogName.onCompletion + "Duration: >> " + >> mp.getDuration()); >> mp.prepareAsync(); >> mp.start(); >> mp.seekTo(curLoc); >> >> This crashes with "prepare Async in State 128". >> >> Has anyone solved the problem of re-queuing file in the videoView so >> that it plays everything that has been written to the sdcard even >> though it starts with a smaller file? >> >> Regards, >> -jm >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >> Groups "Android Developers" group. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected] >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> [email protected] >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en > > > > -- > Daniel Drozdzewski > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
