Avalonia MediaPlayer

The Avalonia MediaPlayer component enables audio and video playback in Avalonia applications. It leverages Avalonia's composition rendering and native platform capabilities for efficient, integrated media playback.

Requirements

This package requires Avalonia Accelerate license: https://avaloniaui.net/accelerate

Quick Start

Get started quickly with the MediaPlayer component: https://docs.avaloniaui.net/accelerate/components/media-player/quickstart

Components

MediaPlayerControl Control

The MediaPlayerControl is a fully-featured UI control for media playback that provides transport controls, progress display, volume control, and video rendering. It encapsulates a MediaPlayer instance and provides a rich user interface for media playback.

<MediaPlayerControl Name="MediaPlayerControl" Source="{Binding MediaSource}" 
                    Volume="0.8"
                    LoadedBehavior="AutoPlay" />

MediaPlayer

The MediaPlayer class provides the core functionality for media playback in Avalonia applications. It handles media loading, playback control, and platform-specific backend management, serving as the engine behind the MediaPlayerControl.

It also can be used to playback audio without any UI.

// Create and initialize
var player = new MediaPlayer();
await player.InitializeAsync();

// Configure
player.Volume = 0.8;
player.LoadedBehavior = MediaPlayerLoadedBehavior.Manual;

// Load and play media
player.Source = new UriSource("https://example.com/audio.mp3");
await player.PrepareAsync();
await player.PlayAsync();
