    I tried this code but nothing appear in the 

    string htmlFragment =
                   "<video width='320' height='240' autoplay> source src='http://test.com/formes.mp4' type='video/mp4'></video";

                this.myWebView.NavigateToString(htmlFragment);

    Can anyone help ?

  • Badly formed HTML.  This works:

    string htmlFragment = "<video width='320' height='240' autoplay source src='http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4' type='video/mp4'></video>";
    MyWebView.NavigateToString(htmlFragment);

    If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.

    NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.
