Media Player Control for .NET Compact Framework

Question

Is there any free media player control library that allows us to play videos in a .NET Compact Framework application?

We tried the one available at http://www.coppercoins.de/post/2008/11/03/WMP-Part-IIIa-Creating-new-Interop-Assembly-for-Mediaplayer.aspx, but having issues with memory problems and access violation errors.

Answer 1

Have a look at the Windows Media Player Mobile control here. That allows you to add a Windows Media Player control into your .NET CF application.

Answer 2

Did you look at the MSDN article on ActiveX Hosting? Be aware that it has a bug in it.
