Direct Access of media through HTTP 2004-06-11 - By Thomas Joseph (Jobi)
Back
Hi Markus,
Thanks for your reply.
I do not understand what's JMFand RTP. I am not that new to Java, but I am
still a student and have not gone to the professional level. I have not used
any Sound APIs in my project. Morover I am very new to Enterprise programming.
I myself do not know what's mms protocol, but I guess its Multi-media Streaming
. When one tries to listen to songs from http://launch.yahoo.com , one gets the
.aiff file from the server, which is a text file containing a URL - something
like - mms://someserver.com?someSongID, which the media player plays instantly.
I do not want to stick to it. This was the only example I could get. If one
could get me a way to hear music using a browser without downloading the whole
file from the server, I would be very greateful. What should I do? I would
welcome any suggestions or referances to this end. I am ready to rework on this
topic.
For your information - I am using, Sun's J2EE1.3.1 Server.
Thanks again for your time and support.

Hi Thomas,
AIFF is not a playlist file, but a file format for audio files.
Which audio API are you using (JMF vs. Java Sound)? Standard for streaming
media is rtp, which is supported by JMF but not Java Sound. Both support direct
http streaming of audio files, but both don't support any playlist files -- but
it should be easy to parse them on the client and request the actual files with
JMF or Java Sound.
What is MMS?
Thanks to Florian Bomers for supplying this answer!

Hi,
I am working on a project which involves creation of a music site which
requires the users to sample music. I have created a servlet which upon
recieving the request, makes a playlist file (.aiff), and presents it to the
client. I can get it all correct - the playlist file, but the media player is
not able to access the music file through http. What can I do for this?
o Is media streaming necessary?
o Can I do with http itself without going in for mms protocol?
o If I need to use mms protocol(as done by many music sites), what
changes I have to make to the server? (I am using, Sun's J2EE1.3.1 Server.)
Can anyone help me out???
THANKS IN ADVANCE ! ! !
