Youtube has recently stopped supporting videos embedded in the format www.youtube.com/v/{key}. So I was trying to convert the video from \"/v/\" to \"/embed/\". However when I t
WPF have a feature "Browser Emulation" to solve this type of issue.
Add the below enumaration
public enum BrowserEmulationVersion
{
Default = 0,
Version7 = 7000,
Version8 = 8000,
Version8Standards = 8888,
Version9 = 9000,
Version9Standards = 9999,
Version10 = 10000,
Version10Standards = 10001,
Version11 = 11000,
Version11Edge = 11001
}
Create a new class "InternetExplorerBrowserEmulation" and add the below codes in it.
public class InternetExplorerBrowserEmulation
{
private const string InternetExplorerRootKey = @"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer";
private const string BrowserEmulationKey = InternetExplorerRootKey + @"\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION";
public static int GetInternetExplorerMajorVersion()
{
int result;
result = 0;
try
{
RegistryKey key;
key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(InternetExplorerRootKey);
if (key != null)
{
object value;
value = key.GetValue("svcVersion", null) ?? key.GetValue("Version", null);
if (value != null)
{
string version;
int separator;
version = value.ToString();
separator = version.IndexOf('.');
if (separator != -1)
{
int.TryParse(version.Substring(0, separator), out result);
}
}
}
}
catch (SecurityException)
{
// The user does not have the permissions required to read from the registry key.
}
catch (UnauthorizedAccessException)
{
// The user does not have the necessary registry rights.
}
return result;
}
public static bool SetBrowserEmulationVersion(BrowserEmulationVersion browserEmulationVersion)
{
bool result;
result = false;
try
{
RegistryKey key;
key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(BrowserEmulationKey, true);
if (key != null)
{
string programName;
programName = Path.GetFileName(Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0]);
if (browserEmulationVersion != BrowserEmulationVersion.Default)
{
// if it's a valid value, update or create the value
key.SetValue(programName, (int)browserEmulationVersion, RegistryValueKind.DWord);
}
else
{
// otherwise, remove the existing value
key.DeleteValue(programName, false);
}
result = true;
}
}
catch (SecurityException)
{
// The user does not have the permissions required to read from the registry key.
}
catch (UnauthorizedAccessException)
{
// The user does not have the necessary registry rights.
}
return result;
}
public static bool SetBrowserEmulationVersion()
{
int ieVersion;
BrowserEmulationVersion emulationCode;
ieVersion = GetInternetExplorerMajorVersion();
if (ieVersion >= 11)
{
emulationCode = BrowserEmulationVersion.Version11;
}
else
{
switch (ieVersion)
{
case 10:
emulationCode = BrowserEmulationVersion.Version10;
break;
case 9:
emulationCode = BrowserEmulationVersion.Version9;
break;
case 8:
emulationCode = BrowserEmulationVersion.Version8;
break;
default:
emulationCode = BrowserEmulationVersion.Version7;
break;
}
}
return SetBrowserEmulationVersion(emulationCode);
}
public static BrowserEmulationVersion GetBrowserEmulationVersion()
{
BrowserEmulationVersion result;
result = BrowserEmulationVersion.Default;
try
{
RegistryKey key;
key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(BrowserEmulationKey, true);
if (key != null)
{
string programName;
object value;
programName = Path.GetFileName(Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0]);
value = key.GetValue(programName, null);
if (value != null)
{
result = (BrowserEmulationVersion)Convert.ToInt32(value);
}
}
}
catch (SecurityException)
{
// The user does not have the permissions required to read from the registry key.
}
catch (UnauthorizedAccessException)
{
// The user does not have the necessary registry rights.
}
return result;
}
public static bool IsBrowserEmulationSet()
{
return GetBrowserEmulationVersion() != BrowserEmulationVersion.Default;
}
}
Before setting URL, we need to add the below codes.
if (!InternetExplorerBrowserEmulation.IsBrowserEmulationSet())
{
InternetExplorerBrowserEmulation.SetBrowserEmulationVersion();
}
This will run the you tube videos using the webbrowser control in WPF
