Stream video from a database in Java

Question

I have to stream some videos from a database. I planned to use Java Media Framework, because I get the Blob objects from the result of a query, but apparently JMF cannot play videos from streams, but only from URLs. Does Anyone know how to solve this problem? If JMF cannot solve it, someone can recommend me a different framework?

would this help? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5574143/stream-video-in-java — Geert-Jan, May 21 '12 at 16:04

You could register a protocol handler, and then use this special URL within JMF. Registering protocol handlers is a bit complicated in my view, but there are a many examples on the internet.

Really interesting, I create my protocol and I can read from the stream. Unfortunately JMF can't read MP4, but your answer was very useful. – Alberto May 23 '12 at 09:50
