Backend and Provider Selection

Use native-provider modes when you need to force or diagnose a specific selection path.

Runtime configuration

using MediaPlayer.Controls.Native;
using MediaPlayer.Native.Abstractions;

MediaPlayerNativeRuntime.Configure(new MediaPlayerNativeOptions
{
    ProviderMode = MediaPlayerNativeProviderMode.AutoPreferInterop
});

Environment configuration

export MEDIAPLAYER_NATIVE_PROVIDER_MODE=AutoPreferInterop

Inspecting the active path

At runtime, inspect:

GpuMediaPlayer.ConfiguredNativeProviderMode
GpuMediaPlayer.ActiveNativePlaybackProvider
GpuMediaPlayer.NativePlaybackFallbackReason
GpuMediaPlayer.ActiveDecodeApi
GpuMediaPlayer.ActiveRenderPath
