Is there a decent pure java video player?
Good afternoon!
The situation is as follows: We are
writing a desktop application.
The java version is not higher than 6, because it will work on weak hardware and OS no higher than windows xp (other linux / mac os / android systems are also in the plan).
Those. Ideally, I launched the jar file and it works without additional installations of third-party components.
You can call it a media player for clarity, in part, it is.
At the moment we are trying to solve the problem with video playback (with sound).
The current implementation is vlcj ( https://github.com/caprica/vlcj ) which works great, but requires its own set of libraries for each system.
There is an attempt to tie jcodec ( jcodec.org), but it heavily loads the system and there is a problem with the formats.
I read about jmf ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Media_Framework ), but as I understand this technology is practically "dead".
I suspect that using wrappers like vlcj is the best solution in our case, but perhaps someone has come across a similar problem?
We consider both free and paid products.
Thanks in advance.

Braking will be merciless. In VLC and Mplayer, for each codec, there are several implementations for each generation of processors, written in assembler manually. That is why they work great on weak hardware. On pure Java without native code, this cannot be done.
