This happens only on Windows. An educated guess would be that the URI form "file://c:/mypath/mymovie.mp4" is not well handled by libav. A workaround would be to rebuild the URI by hand, using the absolute path of the file : ------------------ NOT WORKING -------------- File movieFile = new File("res/mymovie.mp4"); URI uri = movieFile.toURI(); mediaPlayer.initStream(uri, GLMediaPlayer.STREAM_ID_AUTO, GLMediaPlayer.STREAM_ID_AUTO, 3); ------------------ WORKING ------------------ File movieFile = new File("res/mymovie.mp4"); //IOUtil is from the package com.jogamp.common.util String uriPath = IOUtil.encodeToURI(IOUtil.slashify(movieFile.getAbsolutePath(), false, false)); URI uri = new URI(uriPath); mediaPlayer.initStream(uri, GLMediaPlayer.STREAM_ID_AUTO, GLMediaPlayer.STREAM_ID_AUTO, 3); This URI is still compliant with RFCs and well handled by libav under Windows. 3410 1 sgothel 2013-11-28 13:44:44 +0100 eb9225c928b9a1a5660c865921fcd91f85cd1cd0 FFMPEGMediaPlayer uses IOUtil.decodeURIIfFilePath(uri) to decode proper file-scheme if applicable - otherwise encoded ASCII URI. See test case com.jogamp.opengl.test.junit.jogl.demos.es2.av.MovieSimple and it's '-file1' and '-file2' arguments.
