[UWP][HTML]Using Windows.Media.Playback.MediaPlayer

Question

Is it possible to use the new Windows.Media.Playback.MediaPlayer object in a JS app and get it to show the video in a video element? XAML has MediaPlayerElement.SetMediaPlayer(mediaPlayer) but I couldn't find an equivalent on the video element.

Hi Tim,

As far as I know, Windows.Media.Playback.MediaPlayer is currently relying on XAML or Composition API, which are not available in html.

So, it is not possible to use a Windows.Media.Playback.MediaPlayer in UWP(JS) together with video element.
