To play video in WPF try this sample.
XAML Code:
<Window x:Class="WpfTutorialSamples.Audio_and_Video.MediaPlayerVideoControlSample"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MediaPlayerVideoControlSample" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Grid Margin="10">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <MediaElement Source="http://hubblesource.stsci.edu/sources/video/clips/details/images/hst_1.mpg" LoadedBehavior="Manual" Name="mePlayer" />
        <StackPanel Grid.Row="1">
            <Label Name="lblStatus" Content="Not playing..." HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Margin="5" />
            <WrapPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center">
                <Button Name="btnPlay" Click="btnPlay_Click">PlayButton>
                <Button Name="btnPause" Margin="5,0" Click="btnPause_Click">PauseButton>
                <Button Name="btnStop" Click="btnStop_Click">StopButton>
            WrapPanel>
        StackPanel>
    Grid>
Window>
C# Code:
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Threading;

namespace WpfTutorialSamples.Audio_and_Video
{
    public partial class MediaPlayerVideoControlSample : Window
    {
        public MediaPlayerVideoControlSample()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer();
            timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1);
            timer.Tick += timer_Tick;
            timer.Start();
        }

        void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if(mePlayer.Source != null)
            {
                if(mePlayer.NaturalDuration.HasTimeSpan)
                    lblStatus.Content = String.Format("{0} / {1}", mePlayer.Position.ToString(@"mm\:ss"), mePlayer.NaturalDuration.TimeSpan.ToString(@"mm\:ss"));
            }
            else
                lblStatus.Content = "No file selected...";
        }

        private void btnPlay_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            mePlayer.Play();
        }

        private void btnPause_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            mePlayer.Pause();
        }

        private void btnStop_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {

MediaPlayer must be installed to play, below is the UI XAML code for audio play.

XAML Code:
"WpfTutorialSamples.Audio_and_Video.MediaPlayerAudioControlSample"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MediaPlayerAudioControlSample" Height="120" Width="300">
    "10">
        "lblStatus" Content="Not playing..." HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Margin="5" />
        "Center">
            "btnPlay" Click="btnPlay_Click">Play
            "btnPause" Margin="5,0" Click="btnPause_Click">Pause
            "btnStop" Click="btnStop_Click">Stop
C# code to play audio:
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Threading;
using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace WpfTutorialSamples.Audio_and_Video
{
    public partial class MediaPlayerAudioControlSample : Window
    {
        private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
        public MediaPlayerAudioControlSample()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
            openFileDialog.Filter = "MP3 files (*.mp3)|*.mp3|All files (*.*)|*.*";
            if(openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == true)
                mediaPlayer.Open(new Uri(openFileDialog.FileName));

            DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer();
            timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1);
            timer.Tick += timer_Tick;
            timer.Start();
        }

        void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if(mediaPlayer.Source != null)
                lblStatus.Content = String.Format("{0} / {1}", mediaPlayer.Position.ToString(@"mm\:ss"), mediaPlayer.NaturalDuration.TimeSpan.ToString(@"mm\:ss"));
            else
                lblStatus.Content = "No file selected...";
        }

        private void btnPlay_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            mediaPlayer.Play();
        }

        private void btnPause_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            mediaPlayer.Pause();
        }

        private void btnStop_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            mediaPlayer.Stop();
        }
    }
}
