MediaElement not responding

Question

The sound keeps coming even after a pause or stop. I switch to a different flipview but sound keeps streaming?

Any ideas?

Keeps playing

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

I can't stop the sound coming from the media element that plays videos.        <FlipView           x:Name="FlipView2"           <FlipView.ItemTemplate>             <DataTemplate>               <Grid>                 <MediaElement x:Name="VideoMediaElement"                  Width="1200"                  Height="600"                  Source="{Binding VideoFileCustom}"                  Stretch="Fill"                  AreTransportControlsEnabled="False"                  Loaded="VideoMediaElement_Loaded"                  DoubleTapped="VideoMediaElement_DoubleTapped"                   AutoPlay="True"                   /> // Now the code behind            MediaElement media = DefaultViewModel["VideoMediaElement"] as MediaElement;             await Window.Current.CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.High, () =>             {                 if (media.CurrentState == MediaElementState.Playing)                 {                     if (media.CanPause)                     {                         media.Pause();                     }                     else                     {                         media.Stop();                     }                 }                              });

Answer 1

Hello Bruno,

Ynfortunately I can't give you a good diagnosis based on the code snippets that you have posted. It is possible that the instance you are manipulating in your worker thread does not match the instance that is playing. I'll contact you directly and we can work to debug your code.

Thanks,

James

Answer 2

It turns out that there were multiple instances of the MediaElement control. So if you emebed a MediaElement within a FlipView and use binding for the "Source" property, multiple instances are present. This was some code that shut them all down.

Proposed solution
1 2 3 4 5 6 7	foreach (MediaElement el in mediaElements)             {                 if (el.CurrentState == MediaElementState.Playing)                 {                     el.Stop();                 }             }
