How to play MP4 in wpf?

the most I managed so far was to reproduce the sound, without image

<MediaElement Name="myMediaElement" LoadedBehavior="Manual"
                          Margin="5"
                          Grid.Row="0"
                          Grid.Column="0"
                          ScrubbingEnabled="True"
                          Source="C:\Users\TheMagicTool Server\Downloads\myVideo.mp4"
                          />
Solution

  • Does the video show up at all? Just a hunch, try adding Height="200" Visibility="Visible" to the MediaElement.

    <MediaElement Name="myMediaElement" LoadedBehavior="Manual"
                      Height="200" 
                      Visibility="Visible"
                      Margin="5"
                      Grid.Row="0"
                      Grid.Column="0"
                      ScrubbingEnabled="True"
                      Source="C:\Users\TheMagicTool Server\Downloads\myVideo.mp4"
                      />

    Not sure if this'll help at all but worth a shot. MP4 should be supported.
