Issue with SLF4J while calculating total duration of MP4 files in a directory

Question

Main Goal:

My main goal was to get the duration of all .mp4 files from a directory. So, I have googled it and found this qeustion where one answer referred this for full code.

Error in import:

When I took the necessary portion in my code, it was showing error in the following line:

import com.xuggle.xuggler.IContainer;

After that, I downloaded Xuggler from here which I got from here. Then I got the following Error:

To seek the solution of the above exception, I found this question and tried all its three solution with no luck. Got the following exception:

Solving the Exception "SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder":

Seeking the solution of it, I got this question and the accepted answer could do nothing except removing the first three lines in error stream.

What I have tried then:

I have tried adding the following .jar files in my project:

xuggle-xuggler-5.4.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar / slf4j-api-1.7.12.jar
slf4j-simple-1.7.6.jar / slf4j-simple-1.7.12.jar
log4j-1.2.16.jar
logback-classic-1.0.0.jar
logback-core-1.0.6.jar
slf4j-jdk14-1.7.12.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.7.12.jar

File - hs_err_pid10112.log:

You can see the error file here, I could not added it as adding it would cross the character limit.

How to resolve this problem?

Note:

I have traversed along the following questions:

You will usually need three functional parts:

the API used by the program (slf4j-api)
bridging code to adapt the logger implementation to the SLF4J API (e.g. slf4j-log4j12) this one must match the logger you use.
the logger implementation (e.g. log4j)

Some jars cover more than one part, e.g. logback covers 2 and 3 because it implements slf4j natively or if you use java util logging you don't need to explicitly add part 3 (it is in the Java runtime)

You must also use matching versions of the slf4j components, for example don't mix slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar with slf4j-log4j12-1.7.12.jar.

Have a look at the slf4j documentation for the details.

I have all in version 1.7.12 now. but it does not work. – Enamul Hassan Aug 31 '15 at 21:40 — Enamul Hassan, Aug 31 '15 at 21:40

I would try adding your dependencies one by one (while commenting out dependent code). My first impression is that one of these libraries features incompatible versions/backends for slf4j on their classpaths. it's impossible to know which one until you discover this. Once you do that, you can get gradle/maven to exclude one of the conflicting things from your classpath.

I also have tried adding all the updated version, that means 1.7.12 @Jerry – Enamul Hassan Aug 31 '15 at 19:46
@manetsus: you have like five logging backends in your list of dependencies. Your code will break if you have more than one. – Zo the Relativist Aug 31 '15 at 19:52
I did not added them simultaneously. say, I have tried with 1,2,3,7 or 1,2,3,8 and such like combinations as described in the answers of the related questions which I linked. – Enamul Hassan Aug 31 '15 at 19:56

I could not solve the issue, but I could achieve my goal in other way.

I have used IBM's tool kit for it.

Downloaded IBM's API from here.

Added the following code snippet in my code:

public long getDuration(File file) throws IOException {
    PlayerControl playerControl = PlayerFactory.createLightweightMPEG4Player();
    playerControl.open(file.getAbsolutePath());
    return playerControl.getDuration();
}

As my goal was only getting the duration, this is not the efficient way.

In my PC (core-i5, 2.5GHz, 6GB RAM, Win10), It took 42657ms to process 60 .mp4 files which outputted Around 6 Hours 41 Minutes of Duration.

If you want, you can check it in my repository.
