Hi, I know this question has been asked a gazillion times,but i can't seem to get the msAudioCategory = "BackgroundCapableMedia"
to work, even the playback manager sample code i downloaded is not working.each time i switch to another application the background audio fades away. please kindly assist me my full code is pasted below
Html :
<audio id="audtag" autoplay="true" msaudiocategory="BackgroundCapableMedia" src="/sounds/rihana.mp3"></audio>
Packagemanifest.xml:
<Extensions>
<Extension Category="windows.backgroundTasks" StartPage="default.html">
<BackgroundTasks>
<Task Type="audio" />
</BackgroundTasks>
</Extension>
Javascript :
// Assign the button object to MediaControls
MediaControls = Windows.Media.MediaControl;
// Add event listeners for the buttons
MediaControls.addEventListener("playpressed", play, false);
MediaControls.addEventListener("pausepressed", pause, false);
MediaControls.addEventListener("playpausetogglepressed", playpausetoggle, false);
// Add event listeners for the audio element
document.getElementById("audtag").addEventListener('playing', playing, false);
document.getElementById("audtag").addEventListener("paused", paused, false);
document.getElementById("audtag").addEventListener("ended", ended, false);
// Define functions that will be the event handlers
function play() {
document.getElementById("audtag").play();
}
function pause() {
document.getElementById("audtag").pause();
}
function playpausetoggle() {
if(MediaControls.isPlaying === true) {
document.getElementById("audtag").pause();
} else {
document.getElementById("audtag").play();
}
}
function playing() {
MediaControls.isPlaying = true;
}
function paused() {
MediaControls.isPlaying = false;
}
function ended() {
MediaControls.isPlaying = false;
}
// Assign the button object to MediaControls
MediaControls = Windows.Media.MediaControl;
