How to access MediaPlayer.Position from timer handler?

Question

WPF

There is a piece of the following code:

private System.Timers.Timer updatePosTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(250);

        public MediaController() {
            mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
            updatePosTimer.Elapsed += (object s, ElapsedEventArgs e) => HandleUpdatePosTimer();
        }
        private void HandleUpdatePosTimer()
        {
            
            if (Convert.ToInt32(mediaPlayer.Position.TotalSeconds) != Convert.ToInt32(SongPosition.TotalSeconds))
            {
                SongPosition = mediaPlayer.Position;
            }
            
        }

Each tick timer should check if the Position of the object of the MediaPlayer type has changed. But when trying to get the value of the Position property, it throws an exception with the following content: "The calling thread cannot access this object because another thread owns this object."

Please help me understand
