I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 and i'm getting an error when i instantiate a MediaPlayer.
package mediatest;
import java.io.File;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
/**

*/
public class MediaTest extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Say 'Hello World'");
btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
Media media = new Media(new File("rotate.mp4").toURI().toASCIIString());
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(media);
}
});
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(btn);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
The problem is when i create the MediaPlayer:
Media media = new Media(new File("rotate.mp4").toURI().toASCIIString());
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(media);
The Exception message:
Caused by: MediaException: UNKNOWN : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player! : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!

I have already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, and all codecs needed to display mp4 videos. When i play the video with Vlc or other player, there is no problem.
May it be a JavaFx issue in Ubuntu 14.04?
I have tried with jre-1.8
