Dear Maintainer,
This problem was found trying to play an mp3 using Clojure (the JVM hosted
language). Constructing a javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer failed with an
exception:
com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException
Could not create player!
I have investigated the issue and believe that the problem is due to the
version of libavcodec in Debian. At the moment Debian has 2 options:
$ aptitude search "libavcodec[0-9]*$" -F %p
libavcodec58
libavcodec59
libavcodec59:i386
However, OpenJFX only added support for 58 in v13
(https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8215894) and 59 in v20
(https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8294400). Neither option allows mp3
playback.
I changed my project dependencies to use javafx-media version 20 and it worked
as expected.
