ELAN with JMF not playing sound from videos

Posted by scott at 2010-10-27 19:06

I've been using ELAN for a year or so now on Ubuntu x64. But after a recent upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10, ELAN stopped playing the sound from videos. My setup is as follows: - Ubuntu x64 10.10 - Sun Java x86 1.6.0.22 - Sun JRE x86 1.6.0.22-b04 - Sun JMF 2.1.1e Linux Performance Pack - Sun mp3plugin.jar - FOBS from Sourceforge. - ELAN 3.81, 3.90, 3.91 Java works fine. The JMF can play my video files perfectly, with sound. But when I try to view them in ELAN, I get no sound. Apparently, the problem is a bug in the JMF. ELAN's log shows the following (I'll post the rest at the end): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Requested value 7.9588003 exceeds allowable maximum value 6.0206. From what I gather, Sun's volume control is fragile, and something ELAN does can break it outright. Some condition or another causes it to set the volume to precisely 7.9588003, when the maximum permitted value is lower, and this causes a crash. Given that the JMF was abandoned nearly a decade ago, we can be sure that this will never be fixed by Sun/Oracle. However, the last post on http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10932314#10932314 contains code that purports to fix the problem, and it's quite small, barely 45 lines. I don't do Java, so is there any chance of someone on the ELAN team incorporating this code into the program, assuming it works? As things stand, ELAN simply doesn't work for me, and I've tried every imaginable combination of ELAN versions, JMFs, original and Sourceforge FOBS, etc. Thanks in advance!

Well, this could be worth trying. (Maybe handling (ignoring) the exception might do as well.)
Will see if the problem can be reproduced on a machine nearby so that a solution can be tested as well.
