Hi;
I'd like to make a couple of feature requests for media player:
a) Can you give us a property that we can show/hide the top white section where it shows running time? or you could include the running time in the bottom panel as well.
b) On the bottom pane where the controls are, to the left, there is a button to display media list. Can you give us a property to show/hide that button?
c) Would it be possible to provide a "tiny" Control panel with transparent colors that blends better? You can give us a choice of "Normal" or "Tiny" control panel to choose from. If you look at your new TV site, it uses a Flash Media player that the control panel blends better. Can we have something like that?
Thank you in advance!

Ben,
You can accomplish this either by altering the default templete of the MediaPlayer or by getting the required elements programatically .
example :
Panel
rootElement { get; set; }
rootElement = (
Panel)VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(media, 0);
stopButton = (System.Windows.Controls.
Button)rootElement.FindName("PlaylistButton");
playListButton.Visibility =
Visibility.Collapsed;
or you have to get the default templete of the MediaElement and remove your required element from the template.
I believe this can help you.
Thanks
Kalyan

I'd like to second the suggestion of making the buttons public properties of the MediaPlayer object. Yes, you can use code to dig them out, but that means you need to know the names of the controls, which you have to get from the template. In my view it would be a lot cleaner if developers could access them as properties of the object.

Hi Helen,
Yes - this is in our plan for Q2. We are working towards making the MediaPlayer more configurable and more Web-like. If you have any other suggestions for improvements I'll be glad to know.
Thanks!
