JavaFX MediaView Problem After Win10 to Win11 Update

[Bryon Dunkley-Smith]

Hi All,

 

First time poster and so I trust this is an appropriate question to ask
here.

 

I have a legacy JavaFX based application which in part displays a sequence
of short (.MP4) videos which has functioned flawlessly for several years as
demonstrated here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMv6z_SIUXU. But since
upgrading the laptop on which it runs from Win10 to Win11 some months ago,
there has been intermittent/random failures of videos playing with a
ERROR_MEDIA_INVALID being thrown. I have tried many code changes to fix this
unsuccessfully however a common "fix" across several machines is always just
running it on a Win10 machine.

 

I note there is an unresolved bug report Video sometimes does not start when
reinitializing in Windows 11 https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8305842
which appears relevant.

 

So I am wondering if others have encountered this problem and whether there
is a plan to resolve this bug in an upcoming JavaFX release.

 

Thanks,

 

Bryon
