I'm getting DataSink error when I run below code.

[ashanvabs]

Hi I'm using java 8 and netbeans to run the project. I have added below code

try {
            // configuration
            VideoRecorderConfiguration.setCaptureInterval(50);
            // 20 frames/sec
            VideoRecorderConfiguration.wantToUseFullScreen(true);
            VideoRecorderConfiguration.setVideoDirectory(new File("F:/test"));
            // home
            VideoRecorderConfiguration.setKeepFrames(false);
            // you can also change the x,y using
            VideoRecorderConfiguration.setCoordinates(10,20);
            VideoRecorder.start("test");

            Thread.sleep(400);

            String videoPath = VideoRecorder.stop();

            // EXECUTE ALL YOU WANT TO BE RECORDED String videoPath = VideoRecorder.stop(); // video created 

            System.out.println(videoPath);

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
            Logger.getLogger(MainClass.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

and I'm getting below error

Cannot create the DataSink: javax.media.NoDataSinkException: Cannot find a DataSink for: com.sun.media.multiplexer.BasicMux$BasicMuxDataSource@7bfcd12c

Same Issue in Netbeans 8.2 JDK8... Netbeans project attached ! Any update? ScreenRecorder.zip

[agomezmoron]

Hi @emilioaraujo ,

I work on Linux and I cannot reproduce your issue (maybe is related to Windows).

Do you want to add a PR fixing it?

Cheers!

[ysnerdogdu]

Why there is still no answer ??

[agomezmoron]

Because I cannot reproduce and nobody contributed yet. @ysnetdogdu do you want to help us on this?👏

I have the same issue, using JDK 12 on Windows

[nnllnn]

@agomezmoron On windows the file path supplied to the MediaLocator should be of the form: "file://C:/test.mov" in order for this work. However in to make this to work in the VideoRecorder class on line 237 you should use getPath() instead of getAbsolutePath(). I tried it with that small change and supplied the path in the above format and I no longer get the exception. I am not sure if it works on Linux though. Can you check if it still works on linux if you make that small change?

Thanks @nnllnn,

Could you please perform a PR?

Cheers

@nnllnn I tried to replace all getAbsolutePath() with getPath() in VideoRecorder class, and rebuild jar, and still get the error, could you share your fix which can make it works in Windows? Many thanks!

My JUnit test code

    @Test

        System.out.println("hello world");

        VideoRecorderConfiguration.setCaptureInterval(50); // 20 frames/sec
        VideoRecorderConfiguration.wantToUseFullScreen(true);
        VideoRecorderConfiguration.setVideoDirectory(new File("D:\\video11")); // home

        System.out.println(videoPath);

I figured out the problem and raised PR.. see https://github.com/agomezmoron/screen-recorder/pull/12
