Problem adding vlc to my WPF project using Vlc.DotNet

I want to integrate the vlc player to my project in order to display the stream of an IP camera. I was following this Integrate VLC player in C# (WPF) project using Vlc.DotNet to make a demo. Here is my c# code: 

    using System.Reflection;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using Vlc.DotNet.Wpf;

namespace RTSPyVLC
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Lógica de interacción para MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            vlcPlayer.MediaPlayer.VlcLibDirectory =
                //replace this path with an appropriate one
                new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\");
            vlcPlayer.MediaPlayer.EndInit();
            vlcPlayer.MediaPlayer.Play(new Uri("http://download.blender.org/peach/" +
                "bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_480p_surround-fix.avi"));
        }
    }
}

I do the same, but an error appears: VlcControl does not contain a definition for "MediaPlayer"... And its true, the class VlcControl doesn contain it. The question is if I adding the wrong package (Vlc.DotNet.wpf by ZeBobo5 added with NuGet) or there is another way to integrate the vlc player with this library. If you know about an example or a guide it would be magnificient.

Thank you a lot.

you have an help WIKI for VLC, at the bottom of the web page you have all information about wpf with a sample.

in wpf:

<Vlc:VlcControl xmlns:Vlc="clr-namespace:Vlc.DotNet.Wpf;assembly=Vlc.DotNet.Wpf" x:Name="MyControl" />

In your view constructor, after the call to InitializeComponent()

  var vlcLibDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(Path.Combine(currentDirectory, "libvlc", IntPtr.Size == 4 ? "win-x86" : "win-x64"));

        var options = new string[]
        {
            // VLC options can be given here. Please refer to the VLC command line documentation.
        };

        this.MyControl.SourceProvider.CreatePlayer(vlcLibDirectory, options);

        // Load libvlc libraries and initializes stuff. It is important that the options (if you want to pass any) and lib directory are given before calling this method.
        this.MyControl.SourceProvider.MediaPlayer.Play("http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_480p_h264.mov");
