Video player in custom control

I  have been tasked with creating a custom control in Visual Studio 2010 for use on a sitefinity implementation.  One of the requirements is that the custom control play a video.  Can anyone tell me how I can add the media player from sitefinity to the ascx file of my custom control and play a movie that is part of the data module I have created for the site in sitefinity?  Sample code would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Bill

We just finished an application using video, and this was the best (performing, ease of development, ..) things we came across.  You can drop this on an MVC view and bind the different properties right to the model.

Thanks for the reply, but I was hoping to use the media player that comes with sitefinity.

Hi Bill,

If you look at the current video detail template, you can see that the control for that is called MediaPlayerControl and you can add it in any ascx markup:

 Hope this helps!

Sorry it took me so long to reply to your feedback.  I have been away due to the July 4th holiday here.

Thank you for the information.  Very helpful.  I have never worked with Sitefinity before and this is a little challenging for me.

If I may ask some additional questions?
My code behind is in VB.  When setting up the property in my code behind for the video player.  What Type is the media player.  My current code uses object as the type for the move player.With this I get no intellisense.  I assume I need to set this to the proper type rather that just using Object. 

My current import list is:
System
System.Collections.Generic
System.ComponentModel
System.Text
System.Web
System.Web.UI
System.Web.UI.WebControls
System.IO
System.Web.Security
System.Text.RegularExpressions
System.Linq

Do I need another for this control?

Thank you  very much.

How do I get intelli_sense to work in my vb code behind?  Also, the movie does not play so I am sure I am missing something basic. 
In my property in the code behind for the player I am using a type of "Object"  is this OK?  If not what type should I use and what imports lines do I need?
Thank you  very much.

Hello All,

   I managed to get the video to play.  Thanks for all of the help.  The remaining issue is that I need to disable the scrollbar that allows for rewinding and fast forwarding the movie.  Is this possible? If it is how can I accomplish it in VB?

Thanks Again.

Still no luck on this.  Can anyone give me any ideas on how to:

1.  Detect when the media playing in the MediaPlayerControl  has completed.
2.  Hide or disable the scroll bar and fast forward buttons?

These are both customer requirements and I am getting nowhere fast.

Thanks

By the way, in VS the MediaPlayerControl is underlined in green and when moused over it says "MediaPlayerControl is not a known element."

As far as I know, the sfmediacontrol does not expose any of the events of the underlying Silverlight Control.  You could use the underlying rad control itself, but you'd have to configure it.

I spent a week banging my head of this, and finally setup the HTML5 solution in hours.

I have created a support ticket on this.  Ticket number is 714873: Subject: sf:MediaPlayerControl - Hide media control items and detect MediaEnded

Victor,

   Any chance you could let me see some code for this?

Thanks,
Bill

Here is the front-end setup.

Let me know what you're looking for as far as the "back-end" code goes and I will post something.
