Neutron player stops playing when minimized in Windows

Hello,

Neutron player stops playing after a view seconds when minimized in Windows 10.
Which settings do i need to change to prevent this from happening?

In Neutron you could try "Settings > Audio Hardware > Exclusive Access" or "Settings > User Interface > *lock". But I think it might rather be a windows app setting, try to activate the right to run in the background :

Thanks for the reply. Those settings you mentioned are already set.
I mainly use chromecast to play my music. Today I noticed the the music keeps playing when minimized if I use the headphone connected to the PC.
So it looks like Neutron only stops playing minimized when streaming to another device.
Any solutions to this?

You could try to disable "Settings > Connection and Controls > Stop if Output Detached", perhaps minimizing the app detaches the output ? If you don't find a solution I suggest you contact neutronmp@gmail.com and ask them for advice, they'll know how to analyze this.

Windows 10 (non mobile) - Background Networking

Post by Hawksley » Thu Jun 10, 2021 4:49 pm

Greetings,

Using windows 10 pro education on a Lenovo Yoga 11e. I'm pretty sure it's not a mobile version?? When minimizing Neutron the dlna renderer no longer works... Is this a known issue? I think that the Microsoft store only indicated this issue was with Windows 10 Mobile.

That generally works with the windows app - make sure to enable the app ruuning in the background.

Thanks for the reply. It’s on there as well as a setting in privacy background apps.

Windows 10 PC Neutron stops playing when screen off

Post by Melomaniac » Mon Jul 05, 2021 6:45 am

Hi !
I am new user of Neutron Player using Windows 10 PC.
When PC monitor is going into screen off mode Neutron stops playing.
After I wake up monitor with mouse or keyboard Neutron start to play again.
Other players like JRiver 26 or Audirvana 3.5 installed on the same pc keeps playing when screen is black on the monitor.
I was searching for similar topic on this forum but I couldn't find any info.
I don't want to keep monitor on when I am playing music for hours.
Any help will be greatly appreciated !
