PLAY soundfile overriding device sleep?

[genie]

Hello!

I was able to use PLAY command to play audio files without any problem. Just one thing though -- the audio stops playing when the device sleeps of auto-locks. I think that is not the normal behavior, if I'm not mistaken.

Is there any way that my mp3 continues playing even when device screen turns black already?


Thanks,

Hi Genie,
You could try mobileLockIdleTimer that prevents the sleep but the music will keep playing

I guess that would do it! Thanks Simon for helping me out again.

So, it's really LC default for audio to stop playing when device sleeps?

I think it's actually that the device shuts down and liveCode doesn't have the ability to work in the same way a native player does.

I see. Thanks Simon!
