All of the source code described throughout Core JMF is available in the source directory of the CD that accompanies this book. The source directory is composed of sub-directories, each of which contains the source files described in a particular chapter.

New: The latest version of the source code is online. However, the Real Player and the QuickTime version of JMF cannot be placed online due to contractual restrictions.

The overview below will guide you through the contents of the source directory.

Chapter 15: The CaptionMediaHandler

This sample creates a MediaHandler (Player) that can play MCML content.

• AlohaJMF.java
• CaptionControlPanelComponent.java (GUI controls for Player)
• CaptionPrefetch.java (prefetch thread)
• CaptionRealize.java (realize thread)
• CaptionStart.java (start thread)
• CaptionStop.java(stop thread)
• CaptionVisualComponent.java (output class for Player)
• Handler.java (core Player methods)
• SendThread.java (event thread class)

Chapter 16: Grapling with the CD

This sample lets you play CD Audio in eiter Win32 or OS/2. UNIX/Linux readers will need to port it to their respective platforms. If you do port it, please contact me!

• AlohaJMF.java (sample class to control the CD Player)
• CDAudio.java (JNI interface class to CD device)
• CDMediaHandler.java (core Player methods)
• CDPrefetch.java(prefetch thread)
• CDRealize.java (realize thread)
• CDStart.java (start thread)
• CDStop.java (stop thread)
• MCIHack.java (java thread to work around Win32 MCI bugs)
• PositionAdviseEvent.java
• SendThread.java (event thread class)
• CDControlPanelComponent.java (GUI controls for Player)
• cdcontrol.cpp (JNI routines to control the CD)
• *.mak (makefiles for specific platforms)
• *.mcml (sample caption files)

Chapter 17: The Ultimate Synchronization: the Marriage of Players

Sample which synchronizes CDAudio with text (aka MCML content).

• SyncTest.java (synchronizes CD and caption Players)
• *.mcml (sample caption files useful in synchronization)

Chapter 18: Meddling in a Player's Business With a MediaProxy

Sample MediaProxy that receives a single input stream and shows you how to split the output into multiple streams.

• AlohaJMF.java (sample class to control MediaProxy)
• CombinedSourceStream.java (PullSourceStream sample that outputs both text and timing info).
• DataSource.java (single output stream MCML DataSource)
• mcml.java (mcml parser)
• mcml2.java (mcml parser-single output stream)
• MCMLTextDataSource.java (converts single stream MCML input into two stream output needed by Player).
• playersrc/CaptionControlPanelComponent.java (GUI controls for Player)
• playersrc/CaptionPrefetch.java(prefetch thread)
• playersrc/CaptionRealize.java (realize thread)
• playersrc/CaptionStart.java (start thread)
• playersrc/CaptionStop.java(stop thread)
• playersrc/CaptionVisualComponent.java (output class for Player)
• playersrc/Handler.java (core Player methods)
• SendThread.java (event thread class)
• TextSourceStream.java (PullSourceStream sample that outputs text info on byte input stream).
• TimeTextSourceStream.java (PullSourceStream sample that outputs timing info on byte input stream).
• *.mcml (sample caption files)

Chapter 19: Real-time Streaming

This sample illustrates RTSP programming and exploits RealNetwork's JMF enhancements.

• MultimediaFileView.java (RealMedia/audio icon viewer)
• MultimediaFilter.java (filters out non-multimedia files)
• MultimediaPreview.java (previews RealMedia content)
• RealFileChooser.java (illustrates how to use the RealNetwork's JMF API).

Chapter 20: A Real-Time Hybrid

This sample illustrates how to use Sun's RTPSessionManager class and associated interfaces.

• RTPDumper.java (illustrates how to use the RTPSessionManager).
• RTPStats.java (rtp statistics class)

Besides source code, the CD also contains Real Networks G2 JMF Player. If you are running Windows 95 or 98, or Windows NT, you can install this player from the real\g2player directory. If you are a Quicktime user, you can install Whipped butter, a JMF runtime, from the quicktim directory. This diretory contains the Mac runtime (WB1.1(Mac).hqx), the Win32 runtime (WB1.1(Win).zip) and associated documenta-tion(WBDocs.zip)
