Examples

private Windows.Media.PlayTo.PlayToManager ptm = 
        Windows.Media.PlayTo.PlayToManager.GetForCurrentView();

protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
    ptm.SourceRequested += sourceRequestHandlerDeferred;
}

async private void sourceRequestHandlerDeferred(
    Windows.Media.PlayTo.PlayToManager sender,
    Windows.Media.PlayTo.PlayToSourceRequestedEventArgs e) 
{
    var deferral = e.SourceRequest.GetDeferral();

    // Async call to get source media
    var element = await getMediaElementAsync();
    e.SourceRequest.SetSource(element.PlayToSource);

    deferral.Complete();
}

Private ptm As Windows.Media.PlayTo.PlayToManager =
    Windows.Media.PlayTo.PlayToManager.GetForCurrentView()

Protected Overrides Sub OnNavigatedTo(e As Navigation.NavigationEventArgs)
    AddHandler ptm.SourceRequested, AddressOf sourceRequestHandlerDeferred
End Sub

Private Async Sub sourceRequestHandlerDeferred(
    sender As Windows.Media.PlayTo.PlayToManager,
    e As Windows.Media.PlayTo.PlayToSourceRequestedEventArgs)

    Dim deferral = e.SourceRequest.GetDeferral()

    ' Async call to get source media
    Dim element = Await getMediaElementAsync()
    e.SourceRequest.SetSource(element.PlayToSource)

    deferral.Complete()
End Sub

Remarks

You can use a deferral when you want to make an asynchronous call to retrieve the media element to stream. Play To will then wait for you to supply the media element until you mark the deferral as complete.

To create a deferral, call the GetDeferral method to instruct the PlayToManager class to wait to receive a source media element to stream to the Play To target. After you have supplied the source media element to the SetSource method, call the Complete method to end the deferral. If you create a deferral and the wait time exceeds the Deadline property, Play To will continue without a source element from your app.
