[pritesh25]

i'm developing application which record the video and save to web server, and since recorded video have too much size i use compression technique SiliCompressor in order to reduce size of original video.

after applying compression technique, video size reduces and i also play that compressed video file into my VideoView and till here working perfectly.

when i upload compressed video file to my live webserver and try to play video from url in VideoView, it's not playing.

However it work in my localhost server well.

can u help me what is problem ?

here is my code to play video from my live web server

VideoView vv = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vv);
        vv.setZOrderOnTop(true);

        try {
            MediaController mediacontroller = new MediaController(this);
            mediacontroller.setAnchorView(vv);

            Uri uri = Uri.parse(_video_link);
            vv.setMediaController(mediacontroller);
            vv.setVideoURI(uri);
            vv.seekTo(1);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        vv.requestFocus();
        vv.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {

                mp.setLooping(true);
                vv.start();

            }
        });
        vv.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp)
            {
                vv.resume();
            }
        });

[thealpha]

[pritesh25]

still im facing error , I'm compressing video

[thealpha]

are you compressing image

[pritesh25]

no , not now because images size is not too much if i compared with video

[thealpha]

use this to compress image it is very use full....

   private Bitmap decodeFile(File f) {
   Bitmap b = null;
    //Decode image size
    BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    FileInputStream fis = null;
    try {
        fis = new FileInputStream(f);
        BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis, null, o);
        fis.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    int IMAGE_MAX_SIZE = 1024;
    int scale = 1;
    if (o.outHeight > IMAGE_MAX_SIZE || o.outWidth > IMAGE_MAX_SIZE) {
        scale = (int) Math.pow(2, (int) Math.ceil(Math.log(IMAGE_MAX_SIZE /
                (double) Math.max(o.outHeight, o.outWidth)) / Math.log(0.5)));
    }
    //Decode with inSampleSize
    BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    o2.inSampleSize = scale;
    try {
        fis = new FileInputStream(f);
        b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis, null, o2);
        fis.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    Log.d(TAG, "Width :" + b.getWidth() + " Height :" + b.getHeight());
    try {
        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(thumb_filePath);
        b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, out);
        out.flush();
        out.close();

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return b;
}

[thealpha]

are you facing this problem

[thealpha]

like your video cannot be played through download url

[pritesh25]

yes video is not playing from the URL specially when the video is compressed and uploaded to the web server , file is completely uploaded to the web server I check the file size and everything , everything is working perfectly. but compressed video file is not playing through the URL

[thealpha]

how did you get that compressed file from compress video()

[pritesh25]

i use this compression technique (sillicompression)

[thealpha]

https://github.com/RudreshJR/VideoCompression/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/rudresh/videocompression/MainActivity.java

this link helps you see this if there is problem just come here we will talk about that

[thealpha]

or https://github.com/lalongooo/VideoCompressor this library by telegram

[thealpha]

SiliCompressor.with(Context).compressVideo(sourceVideoUri, destionationDirPath);

what should I pass here i am getting error ...he said that I should pass videouri, and file path but see

[thealpha]

mediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.DEFAULT); mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); mediaRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4); mediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB); mediaRecorder.setVideoEncodingBitRate(690000); mediaRecorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.H264); mediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(30); mediaRecorder.setVideoSize(640, 480); this code will hep to compress even crappy but you can set quality of video

[thealpha]

why am I getting this error UrisyntexException() wtf

[pritesh25]

i already used this https://github.com/lalongooo/VideoCompressor library also but after using any compression technique to compress video file. that compressed video file not stream from the live web server (it work perfectly work in localhost).

[Tourenathan-G5organisation]

Hi @pritesh25, i don't think the problem is with SilliCompressor, because the video plays locally. Please check your file upload method. Also, try to upload the video file without compressing and see if it will play from the web server.

[pritesh25]

I know video is playing locally but it is not playing when it is uploaded on the live server.

[skill20]

compressed video file is not playing through the URL when i use ijk player， when i use default player video url is playing ok。

[pritesh25]

you mean default player as a [VideoView ](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/VideoView)???

@SaadShafiq did you resolved that issue? Even the sample project's compressed video is not playable nither on the device not pc.

[SahilKashyap]

Hi, Did anyone resolve this issue...?.."Video not streaming from web url after compression."

[s-komaragiri]

Does anyone have a suggested solution for this ?

[NiharDodiya]

private Bitmap decodeFile(File f) { Bitmap b = null; //Decode image size BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options(); o.inJustDecodeBounds = true; FileInputStream fis = null; try { fis = new FileInputStream(f); BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis, null, o); fis.close(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } int IMAGE_MAX_SIZE = 1024; int scale = 1; if (o.outHeight > IMAGE_MAX_SIZE || o.outWidth > IMAGE_MAX_SIZE) { scale = (int) Math.pow(2, (int) Math.ceil(Math.log(IMAGE_MAX_SIZE / (double) Math.max(o.outHeight, o.outWidth)) / Math.log(0.5))); } //Decode with inSampleSize BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options(); o2.inSampleSize = scale; try { fis = new FileInputStream(f); b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis, null, o2); fis.close(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } Log.d(TAG, "Width :" + b.getWidth() + " Height :" + b.getHeight()); try { FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(thumb_filePath); b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, out); out.flush(); out.close();

} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
return b;

}

Code working perfectly
