Description

Hi!

Im currently trying to play a local video file in Xamarin.Forms but it seems imposible to find a way to disable audio. The problem is that if I am currently playing music on the device and I open the app, the music stops playing even if CrossMediaManager.Current.Volume.Muted = true.

I also tried removing the audio channel of the video file but it doesn't have any effect on the issue.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in a Xamarin.Forms app with a local video while device music is playing, using CrossMediaManager.Current.Volume.Muted = true. Compare this with a video whose audio channel has been removed. Done means video playback does not stop the device's existing music when audio is disabled.
