@ne0rrmatrix just an observation. There are some discussions never answered and 80% of them is related to MediaElement, always something new, not like a general idea. Maybe there are some users who would like to use MAUI + MediaElement, but have specific needs?

The idea of having multiple media elements in a view inside a carousel view or collection view is compelling. It works sort of in android. In windows it does not work correctly most of the time. On iOS and Mac it is incredibly problematic and breaks frequently with fixes taking a long time.
Most media players offer the option for a single instance. The idea is that you reuse a single instance to play different video's. How many people need or want to play multiple video's at the same time? Are their any real world use cases?
If we go to single model of supporting just one instance I suggest we create pages in sample app to illustrate how one might transition from inside a collection or carousel view to a single instance of media element? What do people in the community think? Am I missing anything obvious or are there a lot of use cases for having multiple independent media elements? I understand the use case of a grid of items that play video. But can we not demonstrate how to do that without creating an instance for each video? It seems like that by itself would use a lot of memory and hurt performance?
I am looking for people thoughts and opinions on this and will try and bring it up at this months monthly toolkit meeting on Thursday October 2nd.
