MediaEnded not firing

[John]

I have what I hope is a simple problem. I'm using the RadMediaPlayer to show a video. When a user gets through the video, I want to record that fact to the database. For whatever reason, my code never fires. Here's my code:

private void PlayVideo(string url, string title)
        {
            var item = new RadMediaItem { Source = new Uri(url, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute), Title = title };
            player.Items.Clear();
            player.AutoPlay = true;
            player.MediaEnded += PlayerMediaEnded;
            player.CurrentItem = item;
            player.Play();
        }

void PlayerMediaEnded(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            // record to DB, but this never happens
            Utility.MarkVideoCompleted();
        }

Unfortunately I'm using this in a Azure project, so the debugger spins up the AppFabric and as such it can't be attached to iexplore.exe to investigate. Please help!

Hello John,

RadMediaPlayer is wrapper around MediaElement, and MediaEnded is raised whenever Silverlight's MediaElement report MediaEnded. You can handle the player.MediaElement.MediaEnded event, but i guess you won't get different result.  I think this could happen because there is something wrong with the encoding of the Video you use. If you can send us example video, we can try to find the problem.

All the best,

I think a solution might be to set a MediaMarker at the MediaOpened event (can't set one before that event) and use the MediaElement.NaturalDuration there to specify that the marker is at the end. When you get the MarkerReached event for that specific marker you can stop the mediaelement by code
