[jira] [Created] (CB-9885) windows platform cannot play background
audio
Gaven Henry created CB-9885:
-------------------------------
Summary: windows platform cannot play background audio
Key: CB-9885
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9885
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin Media
Environment: cordova platform windows
windows 10 universal app
Reporter: Gaven Henry
There are specific requirements to play background audio in a windows 10 universal app. If they are not met then audio will stop whenever the app is minimized or in the background.
One of these requirements needs to be set on creation of the media object before the source is assigned.
Need to update the create() method for the windows platform to assign msAudioCategory value so that people CAN enable background audio if they wish.
This change has no impact on the general use case and audio will continue to behave the same way it currently does UNLESS the user also meets the other requirements in their particular app to enable background audio.
These requirements are:
register for media controls
addition to the package.appxmanifest for your app to specifically enable background audio.
There is some reference material here for the additional requirements:
