Is that possible to show video picker like photo taker in windows? - windows

I need to display the videos and select only videos from the gallery, just like phototaker in wp.
Is that possible in windows phone?
I have also googled, but couldn't find any class available.

Is not possible as of now. We already tried to do this.
Also we checked the other applications like Whatsapp and viber which are top in market now, they are also not using it video selector. Since they have the video selector in all other platforms.

Has anyone experimented with getting a video played on a mini app? On the Alipay site there is some documentation, still wanted to post the question

Wanted to know if any of you guys have played around with getting a video to play in a mini app? I have looked at some of the Alipay documentation and from what I can see there is only one supported platform to upload a video to in order to use within the mini app...
You cant get videos to play in native mini programs because the tag is not currently supported.
You could get videos to play by making use of the web-view which points to a website which hosts the video

Share videos camera roll wp 8

I tired to googling that how share videos form camera roll in windows phone 8 like in Nokia video upload and facebook app. I used to try this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff967563(v=vs.105).aspx
Only share picture but I want to share only videos for my app e.g. when my app show in list when share a video by camera roll of windows phone in sharing
To quote the link you included in your question:
Note that this extensibility is only available when the photo is a JPG
file.
And from my experience, I can confirm that it is not possible to register your app as a share target for a video file.
In other words, if a user tries to share a video from the camera roll or another app, there is no way to make your app appear as one of the options in that list.
Did you try using the share media task function?
Check this article out from the msdn :

You can use MediaLibrary and there is already an answer for your question in this link. As said, there is no way to select existing sound media and video files through default choosers. Thank you.

Can I get the video file in Camera roll on window phone?

As I know, there is no way to get the video file in the camera roll.
But recently I did it when using updated WhatsApp.
Wahtsapp supportes video file uploading which is not in saved IsolatedStroage in wp7/wp8 devices.
How did it?
Now I'm researching but can't find.
Please help me.
There is still no documented API for loading existing videos.
From WPCentral:
The ability to send videos has been in WhatsApp for quite some time,
but an OS limitation prevented the app from accessing the media
library to fetch pre-recorded videos. Since early 2013 though, Nokia
has been working with the WhatsApp developers and it looks like it
paid off to have friends in high places. Through Nokia’s assistance
(and indirectly, Microsoft’s), WhatsApp now has permission to grab
videos from your library to send to friends.

Generating thumbnails for movies from iTunes file sharing data?

i´m using the itunes file sharing feature to import customized data from the user.
I need to play videos when tapping on a customized UIButton. Therefore i want to know if its possible to set a thumbnail image from a video to each instance of MyButton.
I´ve played already with the MPMoviePlayerController and its "thumbnailImageAtTime:timeOption" function. It works great after selecting and playing that one video. But i need to generate thumbnails for all videos before.
When syncing videos on any iOS device via itunes, apple generates thumbnails for the camera roll instantly. So thats the way i´m looking for.. Any ideas how apple is doing it?
I´ve got it. Using the AVFoundationFramework with "AVAssetImageGenerator" ;)

Web based media viewer (docs, images, videos) recommendations?

I'm looking for a general purpose media player for my website. I have lots of links to docs, images, videos, mp3s etc. When the user clicks on one of the links, I'd like some sort of viewer to pop up and show the contents, e.g. if its a mp3 it will play the mp3 etc.
I'm aware of the yahoo media player for audio (http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/), and things like yoxview (http://yoxigen.com/yoxview/Default.aspx) for images.
Has anybody had any experience with using any of these? Are there any general purpose viewers that will do all file formats, or is it a matter of integrating a few different ones like those above on my site?
You'll need separate viewers for audio, video, and images.
For anything other than those three, you're best off just serving the file directly the the client. Users would prefer to open a document in their word processor than play with it in some web based viewer.
If you really want to push the issue you may be able to push documents over to Google Docs and view them there the way GMail does, but I'm not sure if there is an external API to support that.
Found a few that offered what I was looking for:
