Remarks
A PosterSource is an image, such as a album cover or movie poster, that is displayed in place of video. It provides your MediaElement with a visual representation before the media is loaded, or when the media is audio only.
The PosterSource is displayed in the following situations:
- When a valid source is not set. For example, Source is not set, Source is set to Null, or the source is invalid (as is the case when a MediaFailed event fires).
- While media is loading. For example, a valid source is set, but the MediaOpened event has not fired yet.
- While media is streaming to another device.
- When the media is audio only.
