I am trying to make my application play youtube playlist videos. I set the Source:

           <video:VideoPlayer x:Name="videoPlayer"

                       Grid.Row="0" Source="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwcgm5VYV-U&list=PLyjPaKJQuCEzqQKdA8FsQdsJ77XbjKkBH" />

But got an error:
Error '=' is an unexpected token. The expected token is ';'.

Could you please tell how I can deal with this issue?

Thanks.

You might need to replace & with & In your URL

@CGPA6.4 Thank you! I could run the application now, but the player shows: Error: Unsupported video type or invalid file path. Maybe it has nothing to do with my original question, or does it?

I can't say no because we are changing url. Try setting url from code behind & check what happens.

@CGPA6.4 Same result, so I guess it is not the right way to play a play list from url. I will create another question. But as you were first who suggested a solution, would you like to make the replacement of & as an answer, so I could mark it as such? I will wait for 15 minutes before marking the answer. Thank you very much for your help.

Error '=' is an unexpected token. The expected token is ';'

This is because you are using & sign in xaml file which isn't supporting, so replace it to &. For more information visit @Paul answer.

There is a bunch of characters that are illegal in XML properties or texts (XAML is an XML dialect), since they have a special meaning, see here. These are

<

>

"

' and

&

These characters will have to be escaped by the following sequences

< = &lt;

> = &gt;

" = &quot;

' = &apos;

& = &amp;

Hence you should change your XAML to

<video:VideoPlayer x:Name="videoPlayer"

                   Grid.Row="0" Source="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwcgm5VYV-U&amp;list=PLyjPaKJQuCEzqQKdA8FsQdsJ77XbjKkBH" />
