title: WPF MediaElement pauses when trying to play Windows Media Center recording
body: <p>I have an WPF application that starts a live tv recording using Windows Media Center, using the Windows Media Center SDK, waits 2 minutes and then plays the currently recording file (.wtv) in a WPF MediaElement. The problem is that the video visual will freeze and it is not consistent on when it happens.  I have looked into it and discovered that the timeline is still moving so the MediaElement still thinks that the video is playing.</p>
  
  <p>This happens only when trying to play a video file that is currently being recorded, previously recorded shows play just fine. Both Media Center and Media Player can play those files without any hiccups; it is only the WPF MediaElement that has this problem. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
