Run MPEG Dash bitrate adaptive streaming on WPF

I've develop an html5 video player with dash.js that plays streaming mpeg dash content. It works great.

Now I have a requirement to run the same on WPF. using an webbrowser to run my already developed html5 sounds very dirty but I can't figure what I can use to make streaming work.

any tips?

@Sander is right, there doesn't appear to be a WPF or C# Dash implementation at this point.

Microsoft's documentation on building a player suggests using dash.js

I'm also not an expert with WPF and have no experience playing video of any kind within WPF. That said I assume you should be able to do something similar to the way dash.js works with the HTML5 Video element. This would require you to do a number of different tasks like parse the MPD file format, and download the required segment(s).

The simplest implementation of this would be simply parsing the MPD and finding one specific bitrate / resolution BaseURL and passing those values to a WPF element that can handle playing mp4 files. However to really get the benefits of DASH you would need to fully parse the MPD file and implement logic around bitrate switching, etc.

There exists no DASH player library for WPF that I am aware of.
