I'm developing what I thought should ahve been a simple task with javafx- media player that will play mp3 files stored on the local hard drive, in users default music folder path (using fedora). I can play all the mp3 files fine from the command line, but when I try and play via javafx.scene.media libraries, javafx keeps telling me that mp3 is an upsupported media type. I've downloaded about every library I could find, but to no avail. Here is a the code that actually tries to open the file and play the media:
First attempt:
public void playTrack( String audioFileName ) {
System.out.println("going to play the file "+audioFileName);
String filename = System.getProperty("user.home")+"/"+audioFileName;
File audioFile = new File( filename);
Media audioFileStream= null;
try {
audioFileStream = new Media(audioFile.toURI().toURL().toString());
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(audioFileStream);
mediaPlayer.play();
}
Method 2:
public void playTrack( String audioFileName ) {
System.out.println("going to play the file "+audioFileName);
String source = new File(System.getProperty("user.home")+"/"+audioFileName).toURI().toString();
//String source = new File("07-Basket-Case.mp3").toURI().toString();
System.out.println("going to play "+source);
Media media = null;
media = new Media(source);
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
mediaPlayer.play();
}
Both produce the exact same error result, shown here:

I should also mention that I'm developing this using VMWare fusion running on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.8.5. Running Fedora 19.
Any help will be appreaciated!
