1085229 - music stop playing when the app goes into the background

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: AudioChannel, defect)

Description

[mythrobins]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141011015303

Steps to reproduce:

One of my FirefoxOS app has been published that plays music. Name: "FoxRad".
In the webapp manifest I have used:

"permissions": {
	"audio-channel-content":{
    "description":"Use the audio channel for the music player"
  }



Actual results:

It plays well when screen goes locked. But when I press home button the app goes in background and music stop playing.


Expected results:

But the music should be playing. As I already have similar app working just fine "HoT".

Only technical differences between two apps is, "HoT" uses a domain and "FoxRad" uses subdomain. Is it because of subdomain ?

Tested on Peak. FxOS version 2.1

What kind of audio channel type is used? You can check the audio channel type of audio() element. AFAIK, the music app of FxOS use "content" audio channel type. Maybe you can choose a suitable type for the app. You can visit the website[1] to get more information about audio channel policy.

Hi, Cheng. Thanks. But I already have a working app here [1]. But the new one [2] have almost the same code and not working. I mean not playing in background.

I did use the type. Here:

<audio mozaudiochannel="content">
<source id="sourceMp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
</audio>
