JavaFX - Add video to the screen

To add a Video to your JavaFX screen, first create a Media using the video file, then create a MediaPlayer using the Media, and create a MeidaView using the created MediaPlayer or set the MediaPlayer of your MediaView to the created MediaPlayer. Finally add the MediaView to your scene.

import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;

import javafx.scene.media.MediaView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class VedioTest extends Application {
 
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        //Creating the Media
        //Either use absolute path of the audio clip or it should be in the same place
        //where the Class used to load it is located
        //Here the Kalimba.mp3 should be in the same directory as the VedioTest
        Media media = new Media(VedioTest.class.getResource("TestVideo.mp4").toString());
     
        //Creating the MediaPlayer
        final MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
//        Make the video automatically play forever
//        mediaPlayer.setAutoPlay(true);
//        mediaPlayer.setCycleCount(MediaPlayer.INDEFINITE);
     
        //Creating the MediaView
        MediaView mediaView = new MediaView(mediaPlayer);
     
        Button btn = new Button();
        btn.setText("Play Video");
        btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
         
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                //Call one of the methods of MediaPlayer such as
                //play(), pause(), and stop()
                mediaPlayer.play();
            }
        });
     
        //Add the MediaView to the scene
        Pane root = new Pane();
        btn.relocate(50, 200);
        root.getChildren().addAll(mediaView, btn);
//        root.getChildren().add(btn);
     
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
     
        primaryStage.setTitle("Video!");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}
