Video playback sample

Shows how to create apps that take advantage of many media platform features.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

Specifically, this sample covers:

  • Playing local video
  • Using in-band closed captions
  • Using out-of-band closed captions
  • Dealing with multiple video tracks
  • Dealing with multiple audio tracks
  • Creating video playlists
  • Playing on a composition surface (not available to JS apps)
  • Transferring a MediaPlayer from one MediaPlayerElement to another (XAML-only)
