MediaPlayer color space handling

I have a question regarding the color space handling because I can't find any information about it. Does the MediaPlayer handle color space automatically (e.g. Rec709)? Is there an API to get the color space or pixel format?

    Hello,
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Does the MediaPlayer handle color space automatically (e.g. Rec709)? Is there an API to get the color space or pixel format?

    I have to say there is no such api for medaplayer to get current video's color space or pixel format, but you could use other way to approach, such as custom video effect. You could get each frame from ProcessFrame method, it has SoftwareBitmap where in context.InputFrame, then you can get BitmapPixelFormat property from SoftwareBitmap.

    Thank you.
