I am trying to play a video using Plugin.MediaManager.Forms and I am referring to this blog.
Step 1: Added Plugin.MediaManager and Plugin.MediaManager.Forms.
Step 2: XAML code - Added a VideoView
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:VideoPlayerApp" x:Class="VideoPlayerApp.MainPage" xmlns:forms="clr-namespace:Plugin.MediaManager.Forms;assembly=Plugin.MediaManager.Forms" Title="Video Player"> <ContentPage.Content> <StackLayout> <Label Text="Xamarin Forms" FontSize="40" TextColor="Azure"/> <Label Text="Video Player Application" FontSize="58" TextColor="BlueViolet"/> <Button x:Name="PlayStopButtonText" Text="Play" Clicked="PlayStopButton" TextColor="BlueViolet"/> <forms:VideoView HeightRequest="202" WidthRequest="202"/> </StackLayout> </ContentPage.Content> </ContentPage> Step 3: xaml.cs code
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage { private string videoUrl = "https://sec.ch9.ms/ch9/e68c/690eebb1-797a-40ef-a841-c63dded4e68c/Cognitive-Services-Emotion_high.mp4"; public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); } private void PlayStopButton(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (PlayStopButtonText.Text == "Play") { CrossMediaManager.Current.Play(videoUrl, MediaFileType.Video); PlayStopButtonText.Text = "Stop"; } else if (PlayStopButtonText.Text == "Stop") { CrossMediaManager.Current.Stop(); PlayStopButtonText.Text = "Play"; } } } But getting error on this step:
Error CS0103 The name 'MediaFileType' does not exist in the current context
Step 4: Also added VideoViewRenderer.Init();in MainActivity.cs, AppDelegate.cs and MainPage.xaml.cs. But getting following error for this initialization.
The name 'VideoViewRenderer' does not exist in the current context
Am I missing something? I checked some other blogs but same error occuring. I have added a sample project here.
