Playing a video in Windows Phone 7

I'm trying to play a WMV file in WP7 using a MediaElement control, but I always get an "ag_e_network_error" exception in the MediaFailed event of the MediaElement control. I found this solution, but it doesn't work for me because I don't have a phone connected at all. Any other solution you can think about?

Here's the xaml:

 <MediaElement Grid.Row="0"
                          x:Name="mediaSample"
                          Source="/Media/Wildlife.wmv"
                          AutoPlay="True"
                          HorizontalAlignment="Left"
                          VerticalAlignment="Top"
                          Height="200"
                          Width="200"
                          MediaOpened="MediaElement_MediaOpened"
                          MediaFailed="mediaSample_MediaFailed" />

The '/Media/Wildlife.wmv' 'Build Action' is set to 'Content' and 'Copy to Output Directory' is set to 'Copy Always'.

Thanks!

It all depends on the codec the video is using.

Use this reference page for details.

Since you are trying to play a WMV video, you have specific restrictions (some codecs have specific resolution restrictions and one is not supported on the emulator at all):

The solution to this would be having a physical device. In fact, for any serious development for a mobile platform, you will need an actual phone, so I would recommend investing in one.
