Windows was the missing piece of David Britch’s cross-platform Video control because WinUI 3 lacked media playback — until WinAppSDK 1.2 preview added MediaPlayerElement and MediaTransportControls. This post adds Windows support.

What you’ll learn

  • New WinUI media types — using MediaPlayerElement and MediaTransportControls from WinAppSDK 1.2 preview
  • The Windows player — a MauiVideoPlayer deriving from Grid and hosting the media element
  • Full cross-platform playback — remote, embedded, and file-system videos across all platforms
  • Simplifying the design — why he removed the IVideo and IVideoHandler interfaces after realizing they weren’t needed

Read the full post for the reasoning and a link to the updated control.
