I have a winRT app that plays music, I want to enable background audio. My MediaElement is in [Solution]\Player\PlayerView.xaml

What should startup page be in the Background Taks properties?

I've tried: PlayerView.xaml, Player\PlayerView.xaml with no luck, maybe I am missing some other properties?

Thank you,

  • @Ramhound I followed exactly this tutorial, they set MainPage.xaml in the startup path, but as I said in the question I have PlayerView inside a folder Player and I don't really want to have all my views in the root folder is pretty messy. – Calin Nov 04 '12 at 07:35

Start Page is for if you are using a JS project. Entry point is for XAML. You actually shouldn't need to declare anything for your background task besides the audio ability because the dispatcher handles all of the background work using 

await Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () => mediaplayer.DoSomething());

You would only be entering the Start Page/Entry Point if you created a WinMD(also known as Windows Runtime Library, not portable) Library that would run some sort of background task. This would also be C# code, not XAML. The background worker does not have a UI component
