Audio in Background

[Dan Friedman]

Panos,

Just wanted you to know that adding “iphoneEnableRemoteControl” did the trick!   The app received the “remoteControlReceived” message and was able to act on that message even in the background.  Sweet!

Thank you!

Hello Dan

In fact this feature might be supported already.

If you have a look at the dictionary, there is the "iphoneEnableRemoteControl" command.

This is to enable remote control. Then, you can use "setRemoteControlDisplay" to update the metadata and such.

Then, you get "remoteControlReceived" events when the buttons in the remote control are pressed.

(remote control is the thingy in the Control Center)

Note that this code has not been tested recently. I'll have a play tomorrow and see if it still works.

Kind regards,
Panos

Panos,

Thank you...  That fixed it!  The audio continues when the app is sent to the background.   However, the application's audio does not appear in the Control Center:

Is this possible?

    Hello Dan,

    On iOS, I think you have to add this line in your openStack handler (or
    elsewhere):

    iphoneSetAudioCategory "playback"

    Kind regards,
    Panos
