How to load video in java FX

Question

I want to insert video into javaFX. Insert video from computer - Not from youtube or something. Play/pause/minimize buttons, borders are not needed.

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class MediaMP4 extends Application {
    Stage window;
    Scene scene1;


    public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws FileNotFoundException   {

    window = primaryStage;
    primaryStage.setTitle("Moves");


    Media media = new Media ("pr.mp4");
    MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer (media);
    MediaView view = new MediaView (player);


    Group full = new Group ();
    full.getChildren().addAll(view);


    scene1 = new Scene (full,600,600);
    primaryStage.setScene(scene1);
    window.show();

    player.play();
    }
}

My pr.mp4 file is inside project, not in package.

Without the error log, there is probably not much we can do. Please include the error log — Gikkman, Jan 20 '17 at 12:48
[Edit] your question to include the [stack trace](http://stackoverflow.com/q/3988788/2775450). Identify which line in your code is throwing the exception (you can see the line numbers in your code; we can't). — James_D, Jan 20 '17 at 12:48
@AšGražusTamsoje Please post the stack trace in the question, not as an external link. If the link goes stale, this question will be useless to future users. — James_D, Jan 20 '17 at 15:04
I tried so. It doesnt let to do, as there is "too much codding and requires to reformat" I cant image what. — Aš Gražus Tamsoje, Jan 20 '17 at 17:19

The relevant line in your stack trace is:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: uri.getScheme() == null! uri == 'pr.mp4'.

You need to specify an URI string with a scheme as a construtor argument, as specified here.

So change your line from this:

Media media = new Media ("pr.mp4");

to something like this:

Media media = new Media("file://c:/myproject/pr.mp4"));
