When I try to load my video, it won’t play. The error I’m getting for the mediafailed event is: 3016 AG_E_INVALIDMEDIATYPE. It’s a wmv file which is supported and I can play it with windows media player without a problem.
What could be the problem?
Thanks
Not all media types are supported, not even all wmvs:

You could perhaps try to convert it to an appropriate media type.
Also, make sure it’s a resource file. To do this, right click and get the properties of the file in the project, and set it’s “build action” property to “resource”. I also say “copy if newer” for the “copy to output directory” property.
