How to get MediaPlayerElement's seeking start event in uwp?

MediaPlayerElement has an event called SeekCompleted, but does not have a SeekStarted event. This is annoying when I click the slider when the network is bad, it seems like the frame is stopped, and MediaPlayerElement returns "PlaybackState: Playing", but actually it's not.

In this video, my network is not good, and from 00:00:06 to 00:00:19, the video frame is stopped and returns "PlaybackState: Playing". this duration depends on the network. Until 00:00:19, it returns "PlaybackState: Buffering".

So how can I set a fake buffering from 00:00:06 to 00:00:19, cause this period to the end-user, itis not playing. Thx.

I found a solution, from 00:00:06 to 00:00:19 in the video, I can use a Timer, which ticks 1 second, to detect the PlaybackSession.Position.

If the position is the same as the last second, then show a fake buffering.

But we have to consider video pause, so we can use like this.

if(video.state != pause)
{
   if(newPosition == oldPosition)
      ShowBuffer();
}
