Java starting and seeking a video using a custom java File System abstraction

I have a custom Java NIO FileSystem. I have to validate it's usability for video playing, seeking, etc. in a demo.

My problem is that I cannot find any library which allows me to play a video from anything other than a regular File or URL. I tried with vlcj, javafx with no luck.

My question is what library should I use for starting a video from a custom FileSystem abstraction?

Solution

  • LibVLC has support for in-memory stream playback.

    This should get you started for Java (credit to caprica)
