Current State of JMF

What is the current state of Java Media Framework?

Is it worth to make serious projects on Java Media Framework (streaming, conference)?

Some code of JMF is out of date. And I think much part of the code will need to be rewritten because JMF is not really suitable for low-latency applications.

It's been shelved.... no bug fixes or releases planned as far as I know.

That stinks...Then there is no sense in developing anything with JMF.

Hi thr!!!

I'm developing a voice-chat application using JMF on client-server model. I have been so far successful in transmitting audio data in internet too using leased lines but when i tested the same in dial-up connection, there were so many disturbances and the audio data was not delievered properly. How can i suppress those disturbances? Can anyone suggest something to solve the problems? Any suggestions in this regard are welcome.

cheers,

arvi

so what do people use now instead since jmf is no longer supported? i mean i want to embed a video feed in a swing app that i have--should i be using something else? is there another java media package for this?

Just because JMF stopped being supported,

does not mean it stopped working.

JMF could do that as soon as it came out,

and Swing appeared.

* video - it surprises me that posters here use

generic terms such as 'video', rather than recognise

that (any) media frameworks support a subset

of formats and codecs, and therefore being a

little more specific.

E.G. We need to display "H.263 Mov's with a

mu-law soundtrack".

Ultimately, it is support for later codec's and

formats in which JMF is lacking.

If OTOH the deployer can control the media

types, or the core JMF can already handle the

media types of interest, it can work 'out of the box'.

So to answer your original question

'what do people use now..?'

My answer is 'JMF', possibly with add-ons

to increase its functionality for particular

media types of interest (e.g. the 'tritonis'(?)

plug-in for MP3 encoding, or FMJ).
