MediaElement Inside of LiveTile

[ericrtodd]

I have a grouped items page and am attempting to run some muted videos (as teasers) inside of LiveTiles. Unfortunately, I am running into two problems. First, when the tile changes to the next MediaElement, the video stutters. Second, after a couple of transitions, only one LiveTile seems to work at a given time. Any subsequent tile is only able to play the video after the previously playing tile transitions.

Is this an unsupported scenario, or just another MediaElement issue?

You are effectively hiding and showing the media element and the media framework is switching visual playback. Not saying it shouldn't work but I would expect non-optimal media playback switching here.

That type of interactive content in a 'tile' doesn't really fall within the design guidelines
