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();
