XUGGLE ERROR: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory

Question

I am trying to execute the following code:

import com.xuggle.mediatool.IMediaReader;
import com.xuggle.mediatool.IMediaWriter;
import com.xuggle.mediatool.ToolFactory;
public class vidcon {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        IMediaReader reader = ToolFactory.makeReader("test.m4v");
        IMediaWriter writer = ToolFactory.makeWriter("out.flv");

        reader.addListener(writer);
        while(reader.readPacket() == null)
            ;
    }
}

But it is is giving me this error:

I have added SLF4J to my referenced libraries, but have no idea why this is not working.

Running on WIN 7, tried in eclipse and netbeans

Any idea?

Answer 1

Download SLF4J and put the slf4j-api-1.7.2.jar file onto your class path.

Answer 2

you might be added the apache-log4j-2.7-bin jars. Just Remove all those Jars and keep only

log4j-1.2.16.jar
slf4j-api-1.7.6.jar
slf4j-simple-1.7.6.jar
xuggle-xuggler-5.4.jar

Answer 3

The following combination of jars is working for me:

log4j-1.2.16.jar
slf4j-api-1.7.6.jar
slf4j-simple-1.7.6.jar
xuggle-xuggler-5.4.jar

Answer 4

Cause Could be un-availability of dependency jars or version conflicts.

The following jars combination worked fine for me:

xuggle-xuggler-5.4.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar
logback-core-1.0.0.jar
logback-classic-1.0.0.jar

Answer 5

Download SLF4J and put the slf4j-api-1.7.25.jar, slf4j-simple-1.7.25.jar files into application class path.

This will help to resolve this exception along with following exception SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
