This blog post suggests that it might be possible to play YouTube videos with the Silverlight MediaEelement directly. <MediaElement HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Source="http://www.youtube.com/get_video? video_id=8yuIw_0ejLs&t=vjVQa1PpcFPrX3tFoahhu4DbniDIqTLkwybdm8xuCt8%3D&fmt=22"/> I was wondering if this holds true for the Windows Phone 7. I have an application that is based on playing videos hosted on YouTube, and it would be nice to be able to have more control over the video experience other than just launching the browser with the YouTube video URL. Unless you have a

I have two displays. I want to make a media player and I want to play video full screen on my secondary display. So I’m trying to make a media player using WPF Here is the code so far I wrote Screen[] _screens = Screen.AllScreens; System.Drawing.Rectangle ractagle = _screens[1].Bounds; //player is my window player.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized; player.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None; player.Left = ractagle.X; player.Top = ractagle.Y; // MediaControl is an media elements MediaControl.Height = ractagle.Height; MediaControl.Width = ractagle.Width; But somehow it’s just playing on my first

My application uses the WPF MediaElement to play video (MOV files). This works well when playing on the Primary monitor but freezes when the window is moved to the secondary monitor.

Is there a way to make MediaElement support more video codecs like mkv , flv , mov etc.? If not, is there any other control that supports more video codecs? Have you seen the Player Framework ? It's an open source component supporting Windows 8, part of the Microsoft Media Platform, and developed by Microsoft. It's an alternative to the standard MediaElement control, and provides a plug-in mechanism. I'm not sure whether you can support extra codecs through this mechanism though. Other than that, you can also extend the media platform (the extension has to be written in C++ though) as shown in

I have a WPF-application with a MediaElement which I use to run a video. I don't want the video to autoplay when loaded, so I set the LoadedBehavior to Manual. <MediaElement LoadedBehavior="Manual" Source="foo.wmv" MediaOpened="videoElement_MediaOpened" /> However; I want the element to show the first frame of the video when loaded. Is there any magic way of doing this? You also need ScrubbingEnabled="True" Then set an event on Load Loaded="Video1_Loaded" In the Video1_Load method add the following: Video1.Play(); Video1.Pause(); None of the video content is rendered before the play method is
