display video interval (specifying startTime and stopTime) with JavaFX Media Box

JavaFX Media Box Component is a prefabricated video player.

http://javafx.com/samples/MediaBox/

In order to play a specified interval of the given video, slightly modify original Main.fx code as follows:

package com.sun.javafx.mediabox;




import javafx.stage.*;

import javafx.scene.*;

import com.sun.javafx.mediabox.MediaBox;

import javafx.scene.input.KeyCode;

import javafx.scene.input.KeyEvent;

var mediaUrl = //"file:/C:/hilaltarakci/WORKSTATION/workspace/WebClient/lost.avi";

"http://sun.edgeboss.net/download/sun/media/1460825906/1460825906_2956241001_big-buck-bunny-640x360.flv";




var mediaTitle = "Lost Movie Sample";

var mediaDescription = "a sample scene from loast movie...";




var startTime = 404444;

var stopTime = 424444;




var theme = getFXArgString("theme", "paranara");

var mediaViewWidth = getFXArgInt("mediaViewWidth", 640);

var mediaViewHeight = getFXArgInt("mediaViewHeight", 360);




var mediaBox:MediaBox = MediaBox {




// set the current profile




// media and play variables

mediaSource:mediaUrl

mediaTitle: mediaTitle

mediaDescription: mediaDescription

autoPlay: true // default: false

preserveRatio: true // default: true




// size and layout position

width: bind mediaBox.scene.width

//width: bind if({__PROFILE__} == "desktop") 640 else 1024;




height: bind mediaBox.scene.height

//height: bind if({__PROFILE__} == "desktop") 360 else 1024;

layoutX: 0;

layoutY: 0;




// view

themeStr: theme // default: "paranara"

mediaControlBarHeight: 25 // default: 25, possible values: 20~50

showMediaInfo: true // default: true




// function variables

onMouseClicked: function(me) {

mediaBox.setVideo(mediaUrl, mediaTitle, mediaDescription, startTime, stopTime);

/*mediaBox.mediaControlBar.mediaPlayer.startTime = Duration.valueOf(startTime);

mediaBox.mediaControlBar.mediaPlayer.stopTime = Duration.valueOf(stopTime);*/

}




onKeyPressed:function(e:KeyEvent):Void {

if ((e.code == KeyCode.VK_BACK_SPACE) or

(e.code == KeyCode.VK_Q) or

(e.code == KeyCode.VK_POWER))

{

FX.exit();

}

}

}




Stage {

title: "MediaBox Player"

resizable: true




scene:Scene {

//width: getFXArgInt("mediaViewWidth", 640)

width: getWidth()

//height: getFXArgInt("mediaViewHeight", 360)

height: getHeight()

content: mediaBox

}

}




mediaBox.requestFocus();




// helper functions




function getWidth(): Number {




if ({__PROFILE__} == "desktop")

return 640

else

return 1280

}




function getHeight(): Number {




if ({__PROFILE__} == "desktop")

return 360

else

return 720

}




function getFXArgString(arg:String, defaultValue:String): String {

var val = FX.getArgument(arg);

if (val == null) {

return defaultValue;

}

return val as String;

}




function getFXArgInt(arg:String, defaultValue:Integer): Integer {

var val = FX.getArgument(arg);

if (val == null) {

return defaultValue;

}

try {

return Integer.parseInt(val as String);

} catch (nfe: java.lang.NumberFormatException) {

return defaultValue;

}

}

and add the following method to the end of MediaBox.fx :

public function setVideo(url: String, title: String, description: String,

givenStartTime: Integer, givenStopTime: Integer) {

mediaSource = url;

mediaTitle = title;

mediaDescription = description;

mediaControlBar.mediaPlayer.startTime = Duration.valueOf(givenStartTime);

mediaControlBar.mediaPlayer.stopTime = Duration.valueOf(givenStopTime);

}

The application is going to play the video from the beginning at first. However, when you click on the video, the video will play the specified interval.
