I’ve added a VideoPlayer control for desktop apps, and it will be available in the next release.
You’ll be able to add it in the visual designer and play local files, bundled project resources or HTTP/HTTPS media. It handles video and audio-only content, including MP4, AVI and WAV with supported codecs. Playback controls, seeking, volume, muting, looping and video fitting are included.
The playback runtime is bundled with apps that use the control, so your users won’t need to install VLC or codec packs. Apps that don’t use VideoPlayer won’t include that runtime.
I’ve also added documentation and a Desktop Video Player example to get you started.
