Simple Usage Example

Use the MediaPlayer and MediaBuilder namespace:

using Veeplay.media;

In the page Loaded handler:
Create a new MediaBuilder instance and configure it from remote JSON:

MediaBuilder builder = new MediaBuilder();

builder.configureFromURL("http://domain.tld/player.json");

Optionally, set the debugMode flag to true and set the debugLevel to enable debug console logging:

MediaPlayer.debugMode = true;
MediaPlayer.debugLevel = 3;

Create a new MediaPlayer instance:

MediaPlayer.getInstance().init(this, false);

Add the media player the current Page:

grid.Children.Add(MediaPlayer.getInstance().viewController());

Play content as configured:

MediaPlayer.getInstance().playMediaUnits(builder.mediaUnits());
