WPF MediaElement with source URL never HasTimeSpan?
I try to play a video from a URL source. When MediaOpened is fired, the test in
private void OnMediaOpened(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (mediaView.NaturalDuration.HasTimeSpan)
{
// ...
}
// ...
}
always returns false and positioning within the media timespan is not possible.
Remark: If I use a file as source then HasTimeSpan is true and MediaElement.NaturalDuration.TimeSpan can be retrieved.
Is this always the case for URL based sources ?
Is there another way to get the duration of a media for URL based sources ?
I'm using .net 4.6.1.

The problem seems to be in the video format you use. I tested this code and it works fine.
XAML:
<MediaElement
x:Name="mediaView"
MediaOpened="OnMediaOpened"
Source="http://mirrors.standaloneinstaller.com/video-sample/Panasonic_HDC_TM_700_P_50i.mp4" />
Code:
private void OnMediaOpened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (mediaView.NaturalDuration.HasTimeSpan)
{
MessageBox.Show("It has TimeSpan and its duration is : " + Convert.ToString(mediaView.NaturalDuration) );
}
}

Yes it works with the URL you used. The URL I use for testing is "localhost:8080/SoccerApp/SpielVideoServlet?id=1832" This is a Tomcat 9 Webserver on my computer providing a self developed Java servlet. I'm testing the Http connection prior to playing the video, the 'HttpWebResponse.ContentType' is "video/mp4". Remark: Recently I have also developed a JavaFX desktop application using its MediaView. In this environment accessing the URL above delivers a duration.
