Description
To replicate, open the cloned repo solution, set /Sample Applications/VideoViewerDemo as the default project, Build > Deploy Solution, then F5 as per the Readme.
At first you may get 'No Such Directory' popup. This appears due to the app being built in VideoViewerDemo\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1, when clearly the developer expected it to build in VideoViewerDemo\bin\Debug\
To solve this move all the build files one down into the Debug folder.
It builds and runs, but the videos simply do not appear. There are no compile or runtime errors.
Using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019, version 16.5.4. I have a clean, Windows 10 Pro Version 1906 for x64-based systems.

Research direction
Start with the repository Readme and the Sample Applications/VideoViewerDemo project, then reproduce the Build > Deploy Solution and F5 steps in Visual Studio. Compare the expected output with the reported missing videos and resolve the build-directory or dependency issue so the demo runs and displays its videos.
