Description

Is there a current method for handling media playback?

I know WPF has the MediaElement and MediaPlayer classes. Is it expected that this sort of thing be handled by platform specific code? Or does Eto have a method for handling such things? I couldn't find anything media related in the API docs.

Thanks

Research direction
Investigate how other cross platform GUI frameworks (e.g., WPF, Avalonia, Qt) implement media playback APIs. Consider using platform specific native controls like Windows Media Player (WPF) or AVFoundation (macOS) and wrap them in a common interface. Look into Eto's existing controls for patterns.
