I can open a video, play it and get position and set position, but nothing shows up in the video window on one pc. The code works fine a on a couple of PCs, but doesn't work on another. Does any one know or can refer me to what files I need to properly run MediaElement on XP pro.
Thanks, Rob
You need at least Windows Media Player 10 or above to be able to use MediaElement properly. A default installation of Win XP doesn't include that. Vista and Win 7 does, however.
--You're not running it through citrix, remote desktop or something like this, are you?
No, just running on a standard XP with sp2. The device is an embedded PC with an Atom 1.6g though.

I am running it on MP10. If you're monitoring Media_Error, as you should, you'll get an error if you're not running MP10 or higher. I'm not getting any errors and it is running -- Media_Opened and Media_Ended are called.
When I first posted this I didn't have the proper audio driver installed, so now that I do I hear sound, but still no video.
--I've found anything less than Media Player 11 fails to play pretty much anything.
I'm running it on MP10 with other pcs without problem.
What media files you are trying to playback? To play the non just wmv files in WPF you need to have a codecs installed.
Your behavior is very strange and I have similar problem but only when WPF player have been played for a many hours and video renderer stops render the video w/o any error reporting.
I could advise you to install the codecs (or re-install, if you have them already installed). Try to use ffdshow + Haali Media Splitter. This combination allows me to play any media type. And do not install the K-Lite Codec Pack, seems I have my own problem with freezing media because of using it.
