I'm looking for a way to stream Vimeo videos using my C# application. At the moment I am playing back videos locally using a Windows Media Player widget in a Windows Forms application.
I suppose I could use a WebBrowser in Form window if I had to, but am looking for something a bit more native than that if possible.
I found that the Windows Media Player control was able to play back Vimeo links directly.
A Vimeo Pro account is required in order to get the links to videos that can be used to stream videos using "3rd party players".

I am trying to use SystemMediaTransportControls on my Windows Phone to remote control my streaming music player device (I am not playing any media local to my device!). I am folowing the examples but have no success so far. The media controls do not appear on the screen.
Has anybody tried the same thing already? Is this possible at all, or does the media controls require a locally played music file to appear?
The system media transport controls are only shown when the MediaPlayer has media opened and/or is playing media. You can't use it for any other purpose.
I'm currently working with Visual Studio and Windows Forms. I want to be able to watch full-screen videos from sources such as Youtube and Vimeo.
I am attempting to do this with a Web Browser but I get issues where the web browser opens YouTube and attempts to download something and Vimeo reports that there could be an issue and refuses to play the video. I already know the URL's of each video as they are responses to inputs.
What would be the best way to watch videos using a Windows Form?
At the moment I am currently just using;
webBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.youtube.com")
You need to embed the video on a web browser control...
check out the following thread on MSDN
I was plagued with the issue that my browser did not support HTML5, although I had IE 11 installed and it did not go away.
I found that using a Shockwave Flash Object was the best method to display movies/youtube videos. I simply added the component to the form and entered the desired movie and worked as intended, I'll use web browsers for non-media content.

Does anyone know how to play music from youtube in my c# .net 4.0 app ? I've installed all the apis and sdks from google but i can't seem to find a tutorial that lets me play music in my desktop app .

If it's an asp.net application, you can just embed an object tag in your markup. Check out the "<embed>" button to get the tag info for an individual video.
If it's a Windows Forms or WPF desktop application, why not just embed a browser control with the same tag?
Either way, you should be able to just make the object tag invisible and still be able to hear the music.

This question is about accessing YouTube content via a C# WinForms application.
The requirements are:
To retrieve the metadata for a playlist, or for all playlists from a given artist.
To embed video and play it from within the app, synced to external timing events.
Approaches we've thought of:
Use the YouTube Data API Protocol to retrieve playlists. There isn't a C# wrapper out there as far as we can tell, though that may be easy to do.
Use a WebBrowser to display the video - not sure how we'd control the video though.
Questions:
Are these the right approaches?
Is there C# wrapper for the YouTube Data API protocol?
What is the easiest way to embed the video and to control the video timing?
Many thanks.
