Silverlight is a RIA and doesn't navigate from xaml to xaml as all youre doing is on the same page : Your website only have a package  with the .xap extension and xaml are not pages but UserControls displayed on the same web page where you put your Silverlight Control.

To go from a UserControl to another, youcan play on the opacity of your controls.

 Add your page2 UserControl on your page1.xaml ( at the bottom of your Grid/Canvas LAyoutRoot to be sure it will be display on top) and put its opacity to 0

erase your HyperLinkButton and put a simple Button instead, in which click event you will change the opacity of your Page2 UserControl to 1.

There's a lot of different way to do it, but here is the simplest :

 Page1.xaml

 <UserControl x:Class="SilverlightForum.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:page="clr-namespace:SilverlightForum"
    mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480">
  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
       
        <Button Name="MyButton" Height="80" Width="200" Content="Go to Page2" Click="Button_Click"  />

<page:SilverlightControl1 Opacity="0" Name="Page2"/>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Page1.xaml.cs

namespace SilverlightForum
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            MyButton.Opacity = 0;
            Page2.Opacity = 1;
        }
    }
}

PAge2.xaml

 <UserControl x:Class="SilverlightForum.SilverlightControl1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Width="400" Height="300">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Black">

    </Grid>
</UserControl>

The only difference with xaml is that you wont pass some request by Post or Get, but directly change some properties of your code

Just give some properties to your xaml with the media player as : source / title etc .. When you click the button and load your skin player, just load your source with this property.

If we take back the first post i gave you, let's assume you have one button for each videos ( let say button_1 / button_2 .. ), then in the click event you will just have to do something like : 

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
Button myButton = sender as Button

switch ( myButton.Name)

{

case "Button_2" :

Page2.DynamicVideo("My video 2","/Videos/2.wmv");

break;

etc..

}

}

And in your page2 which contain the media player, just add a function :

DynamicVideo(string Title, string sourcePath) 

{

//Your code for giving the source to the video player and a title to display on the page

}

If you don't want to do your media player with Silverlight, you can also link the both with Hyperlink of course.

 You can use ChildWindow like below:

        <HyperlinkButton Content="Video1" Click="HyperlinkButton_Click"></HyperlinkButton>

  Code:

        private void HyperlinkButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            ChildWindowVideo cwv = new ChildWindowVideo();
            cwv.Show();
        }

You child window (SL 3):

<controls:ChildWindow x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.Views.ChildWindowVideo"
           xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
           xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
           xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls"
           Width="400" Height="300"
           Title="ChildWindowVideo">
  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Margin="2">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
      <RowDefinition />
      <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <!--Your video page xaml here-->
    <Button x:Name="CancelButton" Content="Cancel" Click="CancelButton_Click" Width="75" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,12,0,0" Grid.Row="1" />
    <Button x:Name="OKButton" Content="OK" Click="OKButton_Click" Width="75" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,12,79,0" Grid.Row="1" />
  </Grid>
</controls:ChildWindow>

Hi,

   You have to decorate the child window yourself. In your case you can put your Media player in the child window. 
   When users click a button or a img on the main page. The child window with a Media player pops up and plays the right video.

   Here is a link about how to use child window(it's a webcast):
