I need to make an app for windows mobile devices which will play and pause media despite of the current player in use. Are there any system calls I can use or any API that I can refer?
Thank you in advance.

I use my Android Phone and I want to use multiple camera on Instagram live video and switch between. I have 2 question:

Can I use windows to send live stream as Instagram live?
Please help me, thank you
I am currently trying to find the most efficient way to continue a method in the background of my app.
I am probably adding location/gps to my app soon, so I was considering using that flag to keep the app Active in the background. However, I do not want to add that flag yet because I want to post an App Update before I add the location functionality.
I know the exceptions;
Apps that play audible content to the user while in the background, such as a music player app
Apps that keep users informed of their location at all times, such as a navigation app
Apps that support Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Newsstand apps that need to download and process new content
Apps that receive regular updates from external accessories
Besides asking for a more generic idea then these ^, can someone explain the "external accessory" flag please? I am recording video from an outside device. However, I do not know what constitutes an "external accessory".
I also see that iOS7 has introduced new Multi-tasking functionality but I haven't seen any examples that I understand can someone also explain that? Maybe that is a viable solution?
Thanks in advance!

You have plenty of options:
Option 1: Here is a good tutorial that explains how to implement video streaming using the Smooth Streaming Client SDK: http://mingfeiy.com/building-windows-store-apps-smooth-streaming-client-sdk-beta-2
Option 2: Another approach is to use the Player Framework for Windows 8 Metro Style Applications To summarize, this is an open source, robust video player framework for Windows 8, HTML5, Silverlight, Windows Phone and other application platforms.
Find it here: http://www.geekchamp.com/marketplace/components/media-platform-player-framework
Option 3: A Simple Windows 8 Smooth Streaming Media Player with a Slider Bar Control as in here : http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/A-simple-Windows-8-Smooth-ee98f63a
To summarize: This sample shows how to use Smooth Streaming Client SDK for Windows 8 to create a Windows Store application to playback Smooth Streaming content. In the sample, the MediaElement control is used to show the media content, and a slider bar control is used to control the progress. That`s is from me, just pick one of the options and you are ready to go.
I have managed to get seamsless looping of wav files using the SharpDX library.
But this does not seem to work while the app is minimised (in the background).
Using the metro players I do not get a seamless loop this is why I use XAudio2 in the SharpDX library.
Hope someone can help with this.
When your app is in the background it no longer has access to the CPU so your audio will stop playing.
The only way around this is with background agents running the audio component. The issue here is that the certification process will be hard on you if you are just playing looping audio. Playing audio in the background is intended for audio player apps (like the inbuilt "Music" app).
If I were a user of your app I would likely be unhappy that it clogs up the audio system when it isn't in the foreground (if, for example, I went to answer a Lync call). If the only way to stop your app playing audio is to go and turn it off manually or exit the app then my opinion is that the user experience isn't great.
Of course, you may have a different opinion, or your app might be doing something I haven't considered.
If I wanted to create a mobile app that allows the user to take pictures with their phone, record audio notes and record video, how would I do that?
I was browsing through the Sencha Touch 2 API and while I see documentation on video and audio files, it seems like it is just providing a way for me to access files stored on the phone - not actual triggers to record, or take pictures.
Am I missing something?
How would I do what I want?
In order for Sencha Touch to have access to your phone capabilities, you need to use a product like Phone Gap
Unless there is a HTML5 api for doing those sorts of things I don't think you can do that. I know on PhoneGap there are native extensions added into that platform for access to things like microphone, camera, etc. I don't know if Sencha Touch has added any of those sorts of extensions in order for you do this.
Just thinking out of the box here, but you might be able to put Sencha javascript into a Web View from within an Android Java process. Then the Java code could expose an object in its process as an extension point to the Javascript engine for access to Camera, Microphone, what not.
