Move/swap two MediaElement controls while playing video between two host controls <ContentControl> tag

[manity42]

*Move/swap two MediaElement controls while playing video between two host controls tag. I am trying to swap two media element controls between two different hosts where each media element is assigned to the hosts ContentControl. I want to swap them while they are both playing a file and to keep playing the file after the swap. But i can get the swap to work only on one player. The second player resets to an un initialised state.

I believe the problem is that the player assigned to a temp holding variable, is removed from the applications visual tree and hence is reset.

I have tried creating a second "ContentControl> inside a host to use as a temp store of the mediaelement but that does not work either.

Can anyone suggest a way i can achieve this swap result between two whilst keeping the two media elements playing videos, and keeping the current state of each player.

I have tried up upload a sample project but with the FFMPEG runtimes it exceeds the 10meg limit even under high zip compression.

I hope the code sample below illustrates what im doing.

Sample Code

I have tried up upload a sample project but with the FFMPEG runtimes it exceeds the 10meg limit even under high zip compression.

I hope this code sample illustrates what im doing

Unosquare.FFME.MediaElement tempMe = MediaHost1.MediaElement; MediaHost1.MediaElement = MediaHost2.MediaElement; MediaHost2.MediaElement = tempMe;

and in the host to assign the media element

public Unosquare.FFME.MediaElement MediaElement { get => _MediaElement; set { _MediaElement = value; this.hostContent.Content = _MediaElement;

            RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(MediaElement));
        }

    }

Have you tried setting element1.UnloadedBehavior = MediaPlaybackState.Manual; on both elements and made sure Library.EnableWpfMultiThreadedVideo = false; Let me know if that solves the issue. Make sure you MANUALLY dispose the mediaelements after using them. Otherwise you will end up with a memory leak.

I have tried what you suggested under version 4.2.330.0 and it made no difference, it functions in the same way, I see just now you have release a new version. I will test it again under the new version.

Dear manity42,

We worked on that and found a way that solves our requirements keeping a list of FFME controls on memory and setting MediPlayerBrush property of each to the background of any visual control. We use to work with borders BrdVideoBrushMain.Background = oMediPlayer.MediPlayerBrush I hope that this helps Best
