Answer 1

Same error.

Pop this in a View

   <views:MediaElement HeightRequest="200"  x:Name="videoView" AutoPlay="True" Source="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"></views:MediaElement>  

In the CS file add

   protected override void OnAppearing( )  
   {  
   	videoView.Play();  
   }
