Video in Avalon Beta 1 RC

  • Article

Some gotchas with video in this release:

 

--It requires Windows Media Player 10 be installed on the machine.

--It only plays .wma and .wmv files.

--It requires the latest video drivers for most video cards. (For sure on ATI Radeon 9600/9700, which is what I have.)

 

Here's a simple file you can put into XAMLPad to see it working:
