WPF播放视频

在现在的项目中需要使用到播放视频的功能，本来打算使用VLC来做的。后来发现WPF 4.0之后新增了MediaElement类，可以实现视频播放。

    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid Background="Black">
            <MediaElement x:Name="MediaPlayer" LoadedBehavior="Manual" MediaOpened="MediaPlayer_MediaOpened" />
        </Grid>

        <Grid Grid.Row="1">
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <StackPanel Grid.Column="1" Orientation="Horizontal">
                <Button x:Name="ButtonOpen" Click="ButtonOpen_Click" Content="Open..." Width="100" Height="25" Margin="5"/>
                <Button x:Name="ButtonPlay" Click="ButtonPlay_Click" Content="Play" Width="100" Height="25" Margin="5" />
                <Button x:Name="ButtonStop" Click="ButtonStop_Click" Content="Stop" Width="100" Height="25" Margin="5" />
                <Button x:Name="ButtonForward" Click="ButtonForward_Click" Content="Forward" Width="100" Height="25" Margin="5" />
                <Button x:Name="ButtonBack" Click="ButtonBack_Click" Content="Back" Width="100" Height="25" Margin="5" />
            </StackPanel>
        </Grid>
    </Grid>

    private string _videoPath;

    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void ButtonOpen_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        OpenFileDialog dialog = new OpenFileDialog();

        dialog.Filter = "Video File(*.avi;*.mp4;*.mkv;*.wav;*.rmvb)|*.avi;*.mp4;*.mkv;*.wav;*.rmvb|All File(*.*)|*.*";

        if(dialog.ShowDialog().GetValueOrDefault())
        {
            _videoPath = dialog.FileName;
        }
    }

    private void ButtonPlay_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        MediaPlayer.Source = new Uri(_videoPath);

        MediaPlayer.Play();
    }

    private void ButtonStop_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        MediaPlayer.Stop();
    }

    private void ButtonForward_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        MediaPlayer.Position = MediaPlayer.Position + TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20);
    }

    private void ButtonBack_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        MediaPlayer.Position = MediaPlayer.Position - TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20);
    }

    private void MediaPlayer_MediaOpened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        // Get the lenght of the video
        int duration = MediaPlayer.NaturalDuration.TimeSpan.Seconds;
    }

这样就可以简单的实现对视频的播放，暂停，快进，快退等。不过MediaElement是有缺陷的，它支持的视频格式和Windows Media Player一样。可以把MediaElement看成是WMP的一个WPF组件。如果要播放WMP不支持的格式。

1. 使用VLC开源库，支持的视频格式非常多，地址：https://github.com/videolan/vlc

2. 在本地安装解码器组件，类似的有：K-Lite Codec Pack。

这样就可以实现一个WPF版本的"万能播放器"。
