How to use AdaptiveMediaSource with HttpClient in WinForms App?

asked

Hello:
I found the following article introducing Adaptive streaming:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/audio-video-camera/adaptive-streaming

However, the code in the article is for UWP project, which is not good for my project, I need a WinForms App project for Visual Studio 2019 (Version 16.11.5) on Windows 10 (Version 21H1).
But since the article mentioned AdaptiveMediaSource using HttpClient, but I can use HttpClient inside a WinForms App, so I want to see some code example for using HttpClient in WinForms App.

But there is one more step to go for my project, as I have to login to one web server with my user name and password, then I can get some cookies, I also need to add the cookies to HttpClient, otherwise, I will get HTTP error 403 Forbidden error message.
One of such M3U8 Link is like this:
https://m3u8.1proxy.xyz/media/g_01/playlist.m3u8

By the way, if it not possible now, yet I also have Visual Studio 2022 Preview 7.0, and since .NET 6.0 is coming, if I can do this: using adaptive streaming in a WinForms App with .Net 6.0, then it is also good option.
But I need some code sample on how to download one of such M3U8 link into a local hard drive after I login to one web page.
Thanks,

Hello:
As now, .NET 6.0 is in GA, I want to know if you have some code example in .NET 6.0 for the job in WinForms App, so I can do some testing.
Thanks,

@john zyd , Sorry for the late response, Based on my further test, currently I can not find the code example in winform about AdaptiveMediaSource. Since I am not familiar with the uwp, I recommend that you can ask for help in Github.

You can use the MediaPlayerElement in Winforms (WindowsXamlHost control for Windows Forms and WPF)

Test with the code and manifest link from the article :

Hello:
Thanks for your suggestion, I will spend some time to study the example for WinForms.
However, from the code for WPF, I can't see any httpClient with cookies part. I mean I need to login to one web page, then get the cookies and add to httpClient. I think I can use PuppeteerSharp to login or use MS-Playwright .NET to login and return the cookies, but how I can use httpClient to download M3U8 links with cookies?
Please advise!
