Maui CommunityToolkit MediaElement

I'm trying to use the

MediaElement

MediaElement

component from

CommunityToolkit.Maui

CommunityToolkit.Maui

to add a media player. Their guide supports 3 different schemes(?) as defined here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/communitytoolkit/maui/views/mediaelement?tabs=windows

I don't want to use a URI resource, I would prefer to use either an

embed://

embed://

filesystem://

filesystem://

source but I don't know how to set either of them. I've tried filesystem with no luck. Assuming my

.mp4

.mp4

is located at

Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, @"Assets\Music\guidgen.mp4")

Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, @"Assets\Music\guidgen.mp4")

what would the corresponding

filesystem://

filesystem://

embed://

embed://

value be?
