T:Windows.Media.Playback.BackgroundMediaPlayer |
winrt class |
Provides access to the media player while it is running in the background.
Note
Starting with Windows, version 1703, BackgroundMediaPlayer is deprecated and may not be available in future versions of Windows. Use the MediaPlayer class instead. For more information, see Play media in the background.
Starting with Windows 10, version 1607, apps should use the MediaPlayer for media playback. The MediaPlayer object allows you to play media in the background seamlessly, using a single process. For information on using MediaPlayer, see Play audio and video with MediaPlayer. For information on playing media in the background with MediaPlayer, see Play media in the background. For information on the legacy, two-process background playback model, which is still supported for backwards compatibility, see Legacy background media playback.
