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
The issue is a feature request for adding media playback API. The contributor should first investigate if any existing media handling exists in Eto's source code (e.g., in the platform specific implementations under the 'Platforms' directory). They should review how other controls like ImageView handle platform specific drawing. Then propose a design that abstracts media playback across platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, mobile). Reference WPF's MediaElement and MediaPlayer classes for inspiration. Finally, create a detailed proposal or prototype before implementing.
