I'm a developer for a C# Windows desktop application, and a major part of my application includes grabbing video frames from a variety of sources: video files, webcams, IP cameras.
So far I've been using EmguCV, but I've noticed that it cannot read certain videos while other media-reader applications have no trouble (VLC, Windows Media Player, etc).
What's the most comprehensive API for grabbing frames from a variety of sources?
Accord.NET sounded promising but it's recently been archived due to the release of ML.NET. It looks to me like ML.NET doesn't have a utility class for grabbing frames from video, though, so it seems like my desired functionality has kind of been stranded.
What would you suggest for a developer who needs to read a variety of video file/stream types on Windows Desktop?

winapi-audio-videotag focuses on Win32 C++ desktop application development. So I want to confirm your applicatin type so I can redirect to the right forum for more professional support. Is it WPF or Windows Forms or others?
