UWP Background Audio fails because RPC server is unavailable

Question

I am implementing the UWP sample for background audio on Github, but with no success. I copy and pasted everything, and while it works in the sample, it doesn't work on my project. Every time the CurrentPlayer object (type is a MediaPlayer), it calls teh existing BackgroundMediaPlayer. But that one always crashes because the RPC server is unavailable. I have no idea what this means or why, because it does work in the sample, even though I copied the code (I even imported the BackgroundAudioTask and BackgroundShared projects without changing any of the code)

I hosted the full code on GitHub, because it might be more useful than my description. I've been stuck on this for months now, so help is much appreciated!

Is Background Task a WindowsRuntime component? Because that is the major mistake people do. — Archana, May 09 '16 at 04:25
Yes it is a runtime component. I even imported the project from the sample, so it's exactly the same — Arn Vanhoutte, May 09 '16 at 06:15
Thank you! The only thing that I made is the mainpage.xaml.cs code — Arn Vanhoutte, May 09 '16 at 06:20
unable to run the project . getting lots of errors. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=E4A5FCCA92E37830!486&authkey=!AKtxW2hxvx5lDfg&v=3&ithint=photo%2cpng — Archana, May 09 '16 at 06:52
That's weird. Do you have everything necessary in VS installed to run UWP apps? — Arn Vanhoutte, May 09 '16 at 06:56
What build are you running? I am on the latest insider build for W10, maybe that is a reason why? — Arn Vanhoutte, May 09 '16 at 06:58
I have visual studio update 2 pending. I'll update and get back to you — Archana, May 09 '16 at 06:59
Okay, maybe if that doesn't work you could try to add the references again — Arn Vanhoutte, May 09 '16 at 07:00

I downloaded and checked your code,everything is proper except you dint add background task reference to your main project

You need to do add BackgroundPlayer refernce to your mainproject(musictest)
