The major video hosting sites allow developers to play content hosted by them in the applications they build. The order of searching assemblies to find embedded resources when calling VideoSource.FromResource(вЂњMyVideo.mp4вЂќ)В has theВ same behavior as calling ImageSource.FromResource(вЂ¦) but the entry assembly (your iOS, Android, or Windows Phone proxy application) is also searched in the event no other match is found. When working with embedded resources though, I took it one step further and made it a little more extensible when attempting to locate resources. This means you have the ability to specify a videoвЂ™s file location as a local file system path, a remote URL or as an embedded resource from an assembly. You could literally follow the tutorial for working with images and just swap out the word ImageSource for VideoSource.

This was built to have very similar design and behavior toВ XamarinвЂ™s ImageSource class. You may notice the Source property takes a VideoSource object. Literally the one line declaration below is sufficient to supercharge your apps with video.

If you are a Xamarin mobile developer, the only thing you need to doВ to get a working native video player on every platform is to install theВ component following the getting startedВ section. The goal is to provide video playback thatвЂ™s easy to use without having to handle the idiosyncrasies of each platformвЂ™s media framework.

For example, you can register for events (Playing, Paused, Stopped,В TimeElapsed, etc.) all from a single shared code base. I am hopingВ developers will enjoy improvedВ productivity when developing mobile applications requiring video because you can now control many aspects of the playback experience from shared code. I find video encoding and streaming to be a fun challenge no matter what I am developing for and was excited to learn there is currently no comprehensive solution to cross-platform video playback with Xamarin Forms.

This new Xamarin Forms component gives developers the ability to render the native video player for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone all fromВ XAML, shared code, or a portable class library (PCL). I am excited to announceВ a cross-platform video player.
