  I have tried playing around with the MediaElement in both Independent mode and using a MediaTimeline but could not properly control the running Video. I implemented Pause/Resume as well as Stop/Play to restart the Video but both failed to work properly. Both will stop the rendering frame at the instance of Stop/Pause but will never re-render new frames once Resume/Play is called. In both cases the Video sound restarts at the beginning and only starts to re-rendering frames after it hits the frame location I paused the Video. In the case of playing the Video to the end I get the MediaComplete event and it shows the last frame ...Show All
