How to play mp3 music file from uri end with extension .mp4 in WinRT apps

I have web Uri like: http://123.456.769/music.mp4.

While I set MediaElement's Source with that uri, I got a media failed exception ("Could not open that video"),

But I can play this file, if download and rename it to "music.mp3";

How can play it without download?

Create a Stream via the Uri. You can use the RandomAccessStreamReference class.

var uriStreamReference = RandomAccessStreamReference.CreateFromUri(myUri);
var uriStream = await uriStreamReference.OpenAsync();

You can then set the source of your MediaElement via the SetSource method. You can also set the MIME type for mp4 audio.

myMediaElement.SetSource(uriStream, "audio/mp4");

If it's an mp3 whose filename is simply an mp4, switch to audio/mpeg.

Hope this helps and happy coding!
