Video streaming on windows phone gives "3100 An error has occurred"

Question

Initial data:

windows phone 7.1 application;
video streaming (video: MPEG‐4 AVC (part 10) (H.264); audio: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a));
not a smooth streaming;
opened in VLC with any problems;
all capabilities are included (ID_CAP_MEDIALIB, ID_CAP_MICROPHONE, ID_CAP_NETWORKING and other).

I am using a MediaElement for opening video stream with custom http url:

media.Source = new Uri("streaming url");
media.DownloadProgressChanged += this.media_DownloadProgressChanged;
media.MediaFailed += this.media_MediaFailed;
media.MediaEnded += this.media_MediaEnded;
media.Play();

MediaFailed gives "3100 An error has occurred" error without any additional description.

Seems like listed codecs are supported.

Also I tried this code:

var mediaPlayerLauncher = new MediaPlayerLauncher
{
   Location = MediaLocationType.Install,
   Media = new Uri("streaming url", UriKind.Absolute),
   Controls = MediaPlaybackControls.All,
};
mediaPlayerLauncher.Show();

but media player was not able to play video.

What can cause a problem? How to test whether video stream is compatible with Windows Phone?

Thanks in advance.

1. Check video format. Upload it via zune to the device, and play it on the device. 2. Check if this question might help you http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8201886/h-264-video-play-using-mediastreamsource-meet-with-3100-mediaerror-on-wp7-emul — Alex Sorokoletov, Aug 21 '12 at 23:44
3. Check if ID_CAP_MEDIALIB is really included. AppHub detects which caps are used and updates the manifest 4. Maybe you should set metadata before playing: videoStreamAttributes[MediaStreamAttributeKeys.CodecPrivateData] = ""; videoStreamAttributes[MediaStreamAttributeKeys.VideoFourCC] = "H264"; videoStreamAttributes[MediaStreamAttributeKeys.Width] = "WIDTH HERE"; videoStreamAttributes[MediaStreamAttributeKeys.Height] = "HEIGHT HERE"; Details here (use translator) http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/zh-CN/windowsphonezhchs/thread/1fa21a6f-267a-4930-9826-7247e4bcbc54 — Alex Sorokoletov, Aug 21 '12 at 23:45
