Question

I´m trying to play a file located on network at address:

string filePath = @"\\192.168.xx.xx\folder\folder2\Audio\audio.wav";

and trying to play it in MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer player like this:

m_player = new MediaPlayer();
m_player.Stop();
m_player.Open(new Uri(path));
m_player.Play();

It doesn’t return any exception, but it also does not play the sound.
When I copy the file on a local disk and try to play it, it works fine.

Any ideas where the problem could be?

Doing some Google says, that you should try a relative Uri.

m_player = new MediaPlayer();
m_player.Stop();
m_player.Open(new Uri(path, UriKind.Relative));
m_player.Play();

Otherwise have a look at this example, which opens a stream and sets the stream to the MediaPlayer.
