PlayToManager.DefaultSourceSelection | defaultSourceSelection property

Enables or disables the default source selection for Play To.

Syntax

var defaultSourceSelection = playToManager.defaultSourceSelection;
playToManager.defaultSourceSelection = defaultSourceSelection;

Property value

Type: Boolean [JavaScript] | System.Boolean [.NET] | Platform::Boolean [C++]

True to enable default source selection; otherwise false. The default is true.

Remarks

An app that contains media elements has Play To enabled by default. If a user invokes the Devices charm while running the app and selects a target device to stream media to, Play To will stream the media from the first audio, video, or image element on the current page. You can disable this default behavior by setting the DefaultSourceSelection property to false.

var ptm = Windows.Media.PlayTo.PlayToManager.getForCurrentView();
ptm.defaultSourceSelection = false;

You can exclude individual HTML elements from the default Play To behavior by adding the -ms-playToDisabled attribute in your HTML markup.

<video src="http://www.example.com/videos/video.mp4" x-ms-playToDisabled />
