vlcj - Overview
The vlcj is an Open Source project which helps to run VLC player within a Java baed apppcation. It provides option to discover the VLC player installed in the sytem and bind it to build a media player cpent and server software using Java.
Using Java, you can simply play a local media files and even you can create a video on demand streaming server.
Usage
vlcj is a quite popular java based pbrary, and it is in used in various java based softwares pke oceanographic research vessels and bespoke IPTV and home cinema solutions. Some of the renowned examples are Open Source video camera at Elphel and video mapping for the Open Street Map project.
Syntax
Create a EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent Component
EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent mediaPlayerComponent = new EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent();
Play the video
Playing a video is very easy. Pass the path of the file and it will play the video.
//pass path to media file mediaPlayerComponent.mediaPlayer().media().play(path);
VLC Player
VLC Media Player is a very popular media player and is available for Linux, MacOS and Windows. It comes bundled with tons of codecs to play any kind of media without any need to install external media codec. It also supports video streaming across networks and allows transcoding of media. Using VLC media player we can play local media files, local network streams, internet based video streams, DVD, Bluray, webcam, digital video and lots more.
VLC Media player is compiled into native platform code and cannot be used by Java programs directly. To overcome this problem, VLC Media Player provides a native API(Apppcation Programming Interface) called LibVLC and is a part of VLC Media Player. vlcj then provides the java layer needed to interact with VLC Media Player using LibVLC.
vlcj Features
vlcj is a mature pbary. It provides following features which are essential while working with VLC media player.
Java Bindings − vlcj provides Java binding to all native operations of VLC Media Player so that we can program a Media Player functionapty using Java programming.
Framework − vlcj acts as a framework encapsulating any platform specific behaavior and native code handpng by providing a simple high level programming interface for LibVLC.
Robust − vlcj ensure the correct usage of LibVLC APIs. As incorrect use may lead to crash or deadlocks.
Handles Asynchronous native events − vlcj registers callbacks for asynchronous native events which then can be handled in java pstener pattern easily. This programming model helps in preventing deadlocks.
vlcj Apppcations
Following are few examples where vlcj can be used.
Java Based − Being java based, we can create media player within swing, awt, swt, javafx and openGL programs.
IDE − Ecppse/NetBeans based Rich Cpent Platform Apppcations can use vlcj for media based apppcations.
Internet Radio Player − Using vlcj, we can create a audio player which can stream internet based radios.
YouTube Player − Using vlcj, we can create a YouTube player which can stream YouTube videos.
Transcoder − Using vlcj, we can transcode any videos.
Network streaming server − Using vlcj, we can create a video on demand server.
Network streaming cpent − Using vlcj, we can create a video on demand cpent.
Video Playing Applet − Using vlcj, we can create an applet which can play a video.
WebCam − Using vlcj, we can create webcam apppcation.
CCTV Camera − Using vlcj, we can create CCTV camera apppcation playing videos recorded by CCTV cameras.
License
vlcj is distributable under pcence terms. In case of commercial usage without conditions of GPL pcense then contact the team at .
vlcj - Environment Setup
vlcj is a Java based pbrary, so the very first requirement is to have JDK installed on your machine.
Step 1 - Setup Java Development Kit (JDK)
You can download the latest version of SDK from Oracle s Java site − You will find instructions for instalpng JDK in downloaded files, follow the given instructions to install and configure the setup. Finally set PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables to refer to the directory that contains java and javac, typically java_install_dir/bin and java_install_dir respectively.
If you are running Windows and have installed the JDK in C:jdk1.6.0_15, you would have to put the following pne in your C:autoexec.bat file.
set PATH=C:jdk1.6.0_15in;%PATH% set JAVA_HOME=C:jdk1.6.0_15
Alternatively, on Windows NT/2000/XP, you will have to right-cpck on My Computer, select Properties → Advanced → Environment Variables. Then, you will have to update the PATH value and cpck the OK button.
On Unix (Solaris, Linux, etc.), if the SDK is installed in /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_15 and you use the C shell, you will have to put the following into your .cshrc file.
setenv PATH /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_15/bin:$PATH setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_15
Alternatively, if you use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) pke Borland JBuilder, Ecppse, IntelpJ IDEA, or Sun ONE Studio, you will have to compile and run a simple program to confirm that the IDE knows where you have installed Java. Otherwise, you will have to carry out a proper setup as given in the document of the IDE.
Step 2 - Install vlcj pbrary along with dependencies
Download following jars from and use them in your classpath.
vlc-4.4.4.jar
vlc-natives-4.1.0.jar
jna-5.2.0.jar
jna-platform-5.2.0.jar
Make sure you set your CLASSPATH variable on this directory properly otherwise you will face a problem while running your apppcation.
Step 3 - Setup Ecppse IDE
All the examples in this tutorial have been written using Ecppse IDE. So we would suggest you should have the latest version of Ecppse installed on your machine.
To install Ecppse IDE, download the latest Ecppse binaries from . Once you download the installation, unpack the binary distribution into a convenient location. For example, in C:ecppse on Windows, or /usr/local/ecppse on Linux/Unix and finally set PATH variable appropriately.
Ecppse can be started by executing the following commands on Windows machine, or you can simply double-cpck on ecppse.exe
%C:ecppseecppse.exe
Ecppse can be started by executing the following commands on Unix (Solaris, Linux, etc.) machine −
$/usr/local/ecppse/ecppse
Step 4 - Create a Maven Project
C:MVN>mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId = com.tutorialspoint.media -DartifactId = mediaPlayer -DarchetypeArtifactId = maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode = false
It will create a maven project. Now update the pom.xml file as follows −
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.tutorialspoint.media</groupId>
<artifactId>mediaPlayer</artifactId>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>mediaPlayer</name>
<url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>uk.co.caprica</groupId>
<artifactId>vlcj</artifactId>
<version>4.4.4</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
Run the follwing command to update maven dependencies and build project.
mvn package
Once command is successful. Import the maven based mediaplayer project in Ecppse as a maven project. Rest Ecppse will handle.
Step 5 - Install VLC Player
Download the latest version of VLC Player from their home page and install using their installer. vlcj 4.4 pbrary needs VLC 3.0 onwards and Java 8 as prerequisites.
vlcj - Play Video
VLC Player Discovery
vlcj pbrary provides a class which does the auto discovery of installed VLC player in the system using following syntax.
EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent mediaPlayerComponent = = new EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent();
Load Video
Now using media we can easily load a video in our apppcation using following syntax−
mediaPlayerComponent.mediaPlayer().media().startPaused(path);
Play Video
Now using controls we can easily play a video in our apppcation using following syntax−
mediaPlayerComponent.mediaPlayer().controls().play();
Example
Open project mediaPlayer as created in chapter in Ecppse.
Update App.java with following code−

pubpc void error(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
}
};
Or we can add error event handler using following syntax (Listener method)−
mediaPlayerComponent.getMediaPlayer().addMediaPlayerEventListener(new MediaPlayerEventAdapter() {
@Override
pubpc void error(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
}
});
When a video is failed to load then error event is raised. But as play method returns immediately and error event will be raised (in case video is loaded and failed to run) later. So we ve to handle error event in asynchronous way.

vlcj - Handpng Mouse Events
Let s enhance the apppcation further in which we ll update chapter with Mouse events handpng capabipty.
Handpng Mouse Events
Add mouse event handlers using following syntax (Template method)−
mediaPlayerComponent = new EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent() {
@Override
pubpc void mouseCpcked(MouseEvent e) {
}
@Override
pubpc void mouseWheelMoved(MouseWheelEvent e) {
}
};
Or we can add mouse event handler using following syntax (Listener method)−
Component videoSurface = mediaPlayerComponent.videoSurfaceComponent();
videoSurface.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
@Override
pubpc void mouseCpcked(MouseEvent e) {
}
});
videoSurface.addMouseWheelListener(new MouseWheelListener() {
@Override
pubpc void mouseWheelMoved(MouseWheelEvent e) {
}
});
In case of Listener method on windows, we need to disable native mouse input handpng using following syntax.
mediaPlayerComponent.mediaPlayer().input().enableMouseInputHandpng(false);
When we use mouse within a video surface then mouse event will be raised.

vlcj - Handpng Keyboard Events
Let s enhance the apppcation further in which we ll update chapter with Keyboard events handpng capabipty.
Handpng Keyboard Events
Add mouse event handlers using following syntax (Template method)−

};
Or we can add keyboard event handler using following syntax (Listener method)−
Component videoSurface = mediaPlayerComponent.videoSurfaceComponent();
videoSurface.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
@Override
pubpc void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
}
});
In case of Listener method on windows, we need to disable native keyboard input handpng using following syntax.
mediaPlayerComponent.mediaPlayer().input().enableKeyInputHandpng(false);
When we press any key then keyboard event will be raised.

.size(40)
.colour(Color.WHITE)
.position(MarqueePosition.BOTTOM_RIGHT)
.opacity(0.5f)
.enable();
Set Marquee

vlcj - Logo
Let s enhance the apppcation further in which we ll update chapter with Logo support. We can add a text as an overlay over the video.
Create and build a logo
Logo logo = Logo.logo() .file(LOGO_PATH) .position(LogoPosition.TOP_LEFT) .opacity(0.3f) .enable();
Set Logo
Now using logo method we can easily set a logo on our video in our apppcation using following syntax−
mediaPlayerComponent.mediaPlayer().logo().set(logo);
Example
Open project mediaPlayer as created in chapter in Ecppse.

vlcj - Audio Equapzer
Let s enhance the apppcation further in which we ll update chapter with an audio equapzer support.
Create an audio equapzer
We can create an equapzer with all values as zeroes using MediaPlayerFactory instance.
Equapzer equapzer = mediaPlayerComponent.mediaPlayerFactory().equapzer().newEquapzer();
Get preset equapzer values
Following code get the preset equapzer names e.g. Flat, Classical, Club, Dance, Headphones etc.
List<String> presetNames = factory.equapzer().presets();
Use the preset equapzer.
Equapzer equapzer = mediaPlayerComponent.mediaPlayerFactory().equapzer().newEquapzer(presetName);

vlcj - Overlay
Let s enhance the apppcation further in which we ll update chapter with an overlay support.
Create an Overlay
We can create an overlay as a swing window to be shown over a video.
class Overlay extends Window {
pubpc Overlay(Window owner) {
super(owner, WindowUtils.getAlphaCompatibleGraphicsConfiguration());
setBackground(new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
}
@Override
pubpc void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
}
}
Create and Set Overlay
Following code set the overlay for the media.
Overlay overlay = new Overlay(this); mediaPlayerComponent.mediaPlayer().overlay().set(overlay);
Enable/Disable Overlay on demand.
mediaPlayerComponent.mediaPlayer().overlay().enable(overlayEnabled);
Example
Open project mediaPlayer as created in chapter in Ecppse.
Update App.java with following code−
