Hi i am trying to use Xuggler with my web app in which i am trying to convert a video file from one format to another.For a desktop java app i am able to do so but for the web app i am getting the following error
frontend.DownloadServlet -
java.awt.HeadlessException

My guess is its trying to create a window that shows the encoding(which i noticed for the desktop app) and unable to do so for the web app.
My code for video file conversion.
public MediaConvertor(File Dest,File Source) {
IMediaReader mediaReader =
ToolFactory.makeReader(Source.getPath());
// create a media writer
IMediaWriter mediaWriter =
ToolFactory.makeWriter(Dest.getPath(), mediaReader);
// add a writer to the reader, to create the output file
mediaReader.addListener(mediaWriter);
// create a media viewer with stats enabled
IMediaViewer mediaViewer = ToolFactory.makeViewer(true);
// add a viewer to the reader, to see the decoded media
mediaReader.addListener(mediaViewer);
// read and decode packets from the source file and
// and dispatch decoded audio and video to the writer
while (mediaReader.readPacket() == null) ;
}
Can anyone through some light on it?As in what extra configuration i need to do for my web app.
I am using maven m2e with eclipse juno and xuggler 5.4. I have put the xuggle-xuggler-5.4.jar in my tomcat lib folder.
Got the mistake i did apparently the line of code
// create a media viewer with stats enabled
IMediaViewer mediaViewer = ToolFactory.makeViewer(true);
// add a viewer to the reader, to see the decoded media
mediaReader.addListener(mediaViewer);
was the one creating a viewer for all the video request i make.This code for some reasons doesn't work for web apps. removed this and it worked.
