currentSession.destory();
});
```
### Verification
Touch the play, pause, or next button on the media application. Check whether the media playback state changes accordingly.
### FAQs
1. Session Service Exception
- Symptoms
The session service is abnormal, and the application cannot obtain a response from the session service. For example, the session service is not running or the communication with the session service fails. The error message "Session service exception" is displayed.
- Possible causes
The session service is killed during session restart.
- Solution
(1) The system retries the operation automatically. If the error persists for 3 seconds or more, stop the operation on the session or controller.
(2) Destroy the current session or session controller and re-create it. If the re-creation fails, stop the operation on the session.
2. Session Does Not Exist
- Symptoms
Parameters are set for or commands are sent to the session that does not exist. The error message "The session does not exist" is displayed.
- Possible causes
The session has been destroyed, and no session record exists on the server.
- Solution
(1) If the error occurs on the application, re-create the session. If the error occurs on Media Controller, stop sending query or control commands to the session.
(2) If the error occurs on the session service, query the current session record and pass the correct session ID when creating the controller.
3. Session Not Activated
- Symptoms
A control command or event is sent to the session when it is not activated. The error message "The session not active" is displayed.
- Possible causes
The session is in the inactive state.
- Solution
Stop sending the command or event. Subscribe to the session activation status, and resume the sending when the session is activated.
## Development for the Session Control End (Media Controller)
### Basic Concepts
- Remote projection: A local media session is projected to a remote device. The local controller sends commands to control media playback on the remote device.
- Sending key events: The controller controls media playback by sending key events.
- Sending control commands: The controller controls media playback by sending control commands.
- Sending system key events: A system application calls APIs to send system key events to control media playback.
- Sending system control commands: A system application calls APIs to send system control commands to control media playback.
### Available APIs
The table below lists the APIs available for the development of the session control end. The APIs use either a callback or promise to return the result. The APIs listed below use a callback, which provide the same functions as their counterparts that use a promise. For details, see [AVSession Management](../reference/apis/js-apis-avsession.md).
Table 2 Common APIs for session control end development
| getLaunchAbility(callback: AsyncCallback\<WantAgent>): void | Obtains the launcher ability. |
| sendControlCommand(command: AVControlCommand, callback: AsyncCallback\<void>): void | Sends a control command. |
| sendSystemAVKeyEvent(event: KeyEvent, callback: AsyncCallback\<void>): void | Send a system key event. |
| sendSystemControlCommand(command: AVControlCommand, callback: AsyncCallback\<void>): void | Sends a system control command. |
| castAudio(session: SessionToken \| 'all', audioDevices: Array\<audio.AudioDeviceDescriptor>, callback: AsyncCallback\<void>): void | Casts the media session to a remote device.|
When you touch the play, pause, or next button in Media Controller, the playback state of the application changes accordingly.
### FAQs
1. Controller Does Not Exist
- Symptoms
A control command or an event is sent to the controller that does not exist. The error message "The session controller does not exist" is displayed.
- Possible causes
The controller has been destroyed.
- Solution
Query the session record and create the corresponding controller.
2. Remote Session Connection Failure
- Symptoms
The communication between the local session and the remote session fails. The error information "The remote session connection failed" is displayed.
- Possible causes
The communication between devices is interrupted.
- Solution
Stop sending control commands to the session. Subscribe to output device changes, and resume the sending when the output device is changed.
3. Invalid Session Command
- Symptoms
The control command or event sent to the session is not supported. The error message "Invalid session command" is displayed.
- Possible causes
The session does not support this command.
- Solution
Stop sending the command or event. Query the commands supported by the session, and send a command supported.
4. Too Many Commands or Events
- Symptoms
The session client sends too many messages or commands to the server in a period of time, causing the server to be overloaded. The error message "Command or event overload" is displayed.
- Possible causes
The server is overloaded with messages or events.
- Solution
Control the frequency of sending commands or events.
AVSession, short for audio and video session, is also known as media session.
- Application developers can use the APIs provided by the **AVSession** module to connect their audio and video applications to the system's Media Controller.
- System developers can use the APIs provided by the **AVSession** module to display media information of system audio and video applications and carry out unified playback control.
You can implement the following features through the **AVSession** module:
1. Unified playback control entry
If there are multiple audio and video applications on the device, users need to switch to and access different applications to control media playback. With AVSession, a unified playback control entry of the system (such as Media Controller) is used for playback control of these audio and video applications. No more switching is required.
2. Better background application management
When an application running in the background automatically starts audio playback, it is difficult for users to locate the application. With AVSession, users can quickly find the application that plays the audio clip in Media Controller.
## Basic Concepts
- AVSession
A channel used for information exchange between applications and Media Controller. For AVSession, one end is the media application under control, and the other end is Media Controller. Through AVSession, an application can transfer the media playback information to Media Controller and receive control commands from Media Controller.
- AVSessionController
Object that controls media sessions and thereby controls the playback behavior of applications. Through AVSessionController, Media Controller can control the playback behavior of applications, obtain playback information, and send control commands. It can also monitor the playback state of applications to ensure synchronization of the media session information.
- Media Controller
Holder of AVSessionController. Through AVSessionController, Media Controller sends commands to control media playback of applications.
## Implementation Principle
The **AVSession** module provides two classes: **AVSession** and **AVSessionController**.
- Interaction between the application and Media Controller: First, an audio application creates an **AVSession** object and sets session information, including media metadata, launcher ability, and playback state information. Then, Media Controller creates an **AVSessionController** object to obtain session-related information and send the 'play' command to the audio application. Finally, the audio application responds to the command and updates the playback state.
- Distributed projection: When a connected device creates a local session, Media Controller or the audio application can select another device to be projected based on the device list, synchronize the local session to the remote device, and generate a controllable remote session. The remote session is controlled by sending control commands to the remote device's application through its AVSessionController.
## Constraints
- The playback information displayed in Media Controller is the media information proactively written by the media application to AVSession.
- Media Controller controls the playback of a media application based on the responses of the media application to control commands.
- AVSession can transmit media playback information and control commands. It does not display information or execute control commands.
- Do not develop Media Controller for common applications. For common audio and video applications running on OpenHarmony, the default control end is Media Controller, which is a system application. You do not need to carry out additional development for Media Controller.
- If you want to develop your own system running OpenHarmony, you can develop your own Media Controller.
- For better background management of audio and video applications, the **AVSession** module enforces background control for third-party applications. Only third-party applications that have accessed AVSession can play audio in the background. Otherwise, the system forcibly pauses the playback when a third-party application switches to the background.
The **avSession** module provides APIs for media playback control so that applications can access the system's Media Controller.
This module provides the following common features related to media sessions:
-[AVSession](#section652893): used to set session metadata, playback state information, and more.
-[AVSessionController](#section974602): used to obtain session IDs, send commands and events to sessions, and obtain the session metadata and playback state information.
