Video playback of a file stored in Media Library

Question

Is there an API which supports playback of Video files which are stored in the Media Library on a Windows Phone 8?

Until now I have only been able to find the option of playback from Isolated storage as mentioned on the following link:

Answer 1

It seems there is no way to access videos stored in the Media Library :

From StackOverflow :

• So there is no way to access videos on Windows Phone 8?
• Windows Phone 8: Media file access
• Does WP8 support to read video from media library?

From MSDN :

MSDN lists all the things that can be done with MediaLibrary in here, (Images, Music and its metadata). But read-only access of videos is not part of it. If it was, no doubt that MS would have mentioned it in this table.
