Sadly this is functionality has not been implemented in WPF. There is a workaround quoting from a codeproject

"Since MediaElement control with Source property from WPF cannot receive byte[] or Stream, we can manipulate it using ASP.NET as a video stream."

Alternatively you could embed a plugin such as the VideoLan DotNet for WinForm & WPF which can stream files, and has very wide codec support. The downside to this is VideoLAN needs to be installed locally on the machine.

On another note there is a feature request to implement this in WPF. If you feel obliged, then vote;

MemoryStream s;
...

MediaElement m = new MediaElement();
m.SetSource(s);
