Developing video player app for Windows phone with more media codec support -
I want to develop a video player app for Windows Phone 8 with more media codec support like MKV, AVI, etc. I'm thinking. And I also want to add subtitle support too. I'm new to WP8 development, so I'm still working on viability. As far as I know, supported media codecs do not include formats like MKV or AVA. But I know about a WP app (Mollyper) which provides support for almost all media codecs and subtitles.
I am wondering if there is a third party library or something that enables the development of a video player app with the above capabilities? If not, what are the possible approaches to developing like Mollyplayer?
Thanks in advance!
The fastest way to get up and walk is to bring the video playback into the App Player Framework (hosted on CodePlex Done) This will provide you closed caption support and some nice playback controls (with many other features).
For codec support, it is a bit difficult for your best bet for Silverlight, to create a mediastream source for the container that does not support WP by default, a good article presenting the subject is.
If you do not want to support WP8, then supports the new SDK media extension for WP8.1!
Good luck!
