Hello Herve,

RadMediaPlayer exposes its MediaElement through the MediaElement property. You can use this MediaElement property to set a buffering time.
For example:

private void mediaPlayer1_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.mediaPlayer1.MediaElement.BufferingTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
}

I have attached a sample XAML page and its code-behind that demonstrate the above functionality.
Let me know how this works for you!

Hi. setting bufferingtime in xaml (<

 

telerik:RadMediaItem BufferingTime="5"...) doesnt seem to work (it keeps buffering forever; never plays)... Can BufferingTime have to be set in code behind only?

Hello Amit,

By setting BufferingTime="5" you actually say that the BufferingTime is 5 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds.
If you want to set the BufferingTime to 5 seconds, you need to do the following:

BufferingTime="0:0:5"

Let me know how it works for you.

The RadMediItem should check if buffer is set to more then Video time it should automatically set it to maximum.

So it could never happened that play is never execute.
