How to get started with an external library (WPFMediaKit)

$

Hello.

I am working on a WPF project written in C#. A big part of the project is playing a number of videos back to back. I initially tried to use the MediaElement control, but after experiencing a large number of issues with it and reading about the frustrations of others with various MediaElement bugs, I decided to look for a different solution for playing videos in my WPF window. I saw several people recommend WPFMediaKit (https://wpfmediakit.codeplex.com/). My issue now is I am not sure how to get started with trying out WPFMediaKit. I have downloaded the .dll file, I have added it as a project reference in my demo project. I am not sure how to begin instantiating objects or using them. There isn't much documentation out there on this.

Can anyone offer any tips with getting started using an external library like this? Do developers typically just open up the source code of external libraries and try to figure out which constructors and methods to use, etc...? Also, I'm not sure how to figure out what syntax to use for the XAML. I feel like I'm probably just missing something simple.

Thanks for any advice.
