I am writing a Windows Phone application with ability to play video. I have found a lot of custom video players, but I want to find out, is there a standard video player in Windows Phone and what I need to do for using it?

The MediaElement is the standard control for playing video files in WP7 apps.
You can use default media player with the help of MediaElement and MediaPlayerLauncher.
You can play local videos and urls with video.
I hope this link will help you

I think its not possible to play FLV video formats. You need to create your own decoder for it. Have a look at this official Microsoft answer: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/0b1d2d0d-f7ba-4a9e-80bb-d67059453c33/play-mpegflv-files-im-media-element

FLV is not one of the Supported audio and video formats (Windows Store apps) (Windows) .
Your best chance would be to update the URL to provide a supported format.
I want to add a video player in my Windows Form that would be able to stream videos (flv) from internet (web-server). So far i've tried Microsoft Windows Media Player and it's working but I don't like it because of its lags and bugs and etc.
So are there any other video players that can be easily embedded in a Windows Form and that support video streaming? (by streaming I don't mean something like live TV streaming, but just downloading (buffering) and playing at the same time the video)
Perhaps you can embed VLC as an ActiveX component?
There is a Flash ActiveX control which (I expect) would handle these natively.
I want to use a media player in C# that reads these extensions : wmv,api,flv,mp3,mp4 and swf..
I tried Silverlight media player but its working with wmv and mp3 only.. and the same with the mediaElement in silverlight.. And FlowPLayer will only play flv, mp4 and mp3.
Has anyone any suggestion ?
Thanks alot !!
Why don't you use VLC media Player ActiveX ,here is a Project that helps you to integrate http://vlcdotnet.codeplex.com/

currently im able to play .wmv videos from my application using shell execute which plays it in the windowsmedia player. However I need to be able to play .3gp videos which unfortunately the windows meadia player does not support. Is it possible via api etc to play 3gp videos on win mobile 5 and 6 devices?
You can check out CorePlayer, though you need to purchase a license. I am not familiar with a free solution to play this media unless the device's OEM provides it.
