title: No Player Exception With Jar
body: <p>I was trying to use MP3s instead of wavs and it works fine in NetBeans, but when I build it and try to run the jar there's no sound and I get the NoPlayerException.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    background = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/background1.png"));
      sun = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/sun.png"));
      cloud = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/cloud.png"));
      pause = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/pause.png"));
      soldierchant = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(getClass().getResource("/SoldiersChant.wav"));
      thebreach = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(getClass().getResource("/TheBreach.wav"));
      forever = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(getClass().getResource("/Forever.wav"));
  
      Format input1 = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.MPEGLAYER3);
      Format input2 = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.MPEG);
      Format output = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.LINEAR);
      PlugInManager.addPlugIn("com.sun.media.codec.audio.mp3.JavaDecoder", new Format[]{input1, input2}, new Format[]{output}, PlugInManager.CODEC);
      try {
          Player player = Manager.createPlayer(new MediaLocator(getClass().getResource("/TheBreach.mp3").toURI().toURL()));
          player.start();
      } catch (IOException ex) {
          ex.printStackTrace();
      }catch (java.net.URISyntaxException x) {
          x.printStackTrace();
      }catch (javax.media.NoPlayerException c) {
          c.printStackTrace();
      }

  <p>As you can see I'm getting the file from using getResource just like the images and wav that work both in NetBeans and jar. Could this be the problem <code>com.sun.media.codec.audio.mp3.JavaDecoder</code></p>
  
  <p>I'm grabbing at straws at this point. I've tried putting the MP3 in every folder and doing no / and the full directory.</p>
  
  <p>This is my Exception's <code>getMessage</code>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Cannot find a Player for jar:file:/C:/Users/Patrick/Documents/NetBeansProjects/PatBuild8FX/dist/PatBuild8FX.jar!/TheBreach.mp3</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I think it is <code>Manager.createPlayer</code> because when I just create the file alone its fine, but when I try to create a player with it, it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <pre><code> File m = new File("file:/C:/Users/Patrick/Documents/NetBeansProjects/PatBuild8FX/dist/PatBuild8FX.jar/TheBreach.mp3");
      System.out.println(m);
      System.out.println(Manager.createPlayer(m.toURI().toURL()));
