WMPVIDEO

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

This is a predefined VIDEO element with the following default values.

backgroundColor="black"
horizontalAlignment="stretch"
verticalAlignment="stretch"

Remarks

This will create a VIDEO element that will stretch the video window when the skin is resized. Digital video displayed in this window will stretch to fit the available space or will be scaled up or down according to the settings on the Player View menu under Video Size. The View menu is displayed in the full mode of the Player or when the VIEW.titleBar attribute is set to true in a skin.

All properties of this VIDEO element can be overridden by explicitly specifying them.
