Can the Media Element display jpg?

Some remote cameras I’d like to monitor only supply static jpgs (refreshed periodically).
I’m using a single media element to show all my cameras (selecting the stream through a series of buttons) but when i put a jpg url in the source it just shows a black rectangle.

I guess I could cheat by overlapping a web image on the same screen region as the media element, but was wondering if it can be displayed through the actual media control.

Yes, so long as you use the IPCamera device. Just set the Source property on the MediaElement to YourCameraName.Stream.

That worked! Wonderful!
Now I can choose to see my own security cameras, or the traffic camera feeds provided by the city.
Much appreciated
