Play Music Issues - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently have two issues with Google Play Music, running JB 4.1.1. The issues are:
1. Lockscreen widget: When I press play/back/forward the widget closes and the music stops.
2. Widget: I press pause and the music stops.
Both of these are intermittent.
I have tried re-installing from Play store, using TB to uninstall/restore, but with no luck.
I am running stock 4.1.1 but have tried CNA 3.4.1, AOKP Release 1 all with the same issue.
Any advice on how to fix?
Thanks

use apollo music, better theme support. you're in australia so no music sync/buying for ya, so you don't lose anything if you switch to apollo like me.

I thought the widget has always done that? I'm pretty sure it has for me anyway

Have you tried to clear Data and Cache from Settings | Apps | "Google Play Music" and "Google Play Services"?
Clear data, Cache & Fixed permission on CWM?
Lastly...I would try to do a factory reset (if this has happened since you upgraded from ICS).

I have tried various install methods for 4.1.1 from flashing zips to fastboot flash, with no luck.
I have installed Apollo music player from CM10 and it is perfect!
Thanks!

[Q] Google Music FC?

I'm running the 2.6.3 OTA rooted, and everytime I try to sync or stream from Google Music, it FC. I tried clearing the data, unfreezing everything, reinstalling updates and resyncing, syncing over WiFi on the first sync, and it still FC.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem on the MB865, and is there any solution?
Thanks!
Don't use the version from the motorola update.
Try another apk from a newer version.
I was using google music before the OTA update and was fine. After the update stopped working (version 3.something). Reinstalled the previous verions (4.something) and everything works as expected.
I tried uninstalling music from ROM Manager and then installing the Music 4.0.9 APK, and it still force-closes on streaming.

Go to the Android Market, then go to my apps. Google Music should be under "not installed"... click on it and then press the "Update" button. ROM Manager would not conflict with Google Music.
See if that helps it.
Okay, I did all this, and it's still FC. Are there any third-party apps that anyone knows of that can stream from Google Music?

google play music strange behaviour

Hi there,
I have been using google play music as my default player and i kinda like it. But recently it has been very strangely.
While playing music when i'm on the now playing screen, if i rotate my tab or lock it and then unlock it, the time of seek bar becomes --:--
and when i try to use the seek bar the song restarts, else the seek bar works normally.
I have a p3100 running cm 10.1 rc2 and simple cyanogen kernel....
And the problem also is in my phones google play music, which is still not updated to the new play music( one which came yesterday after the i/o) so i can guess this is not a rom related or device related problem( my phone is galaxy s running xylon custom rom 4.2.2)
I tried clearing the cache and data and even fix permissions from recovery, cuz play music is a system app, but i had no luck.
Now i'm out of ideas and any help is appreciated.
Thx
edit : solved to remove the apk using no bloat and reinstall from market then fix permissions
Mods please delete this thread... Thx

How to remove all music in play music?

Hey everybody, I just updated my music collection on my phone via sync from my computer and now 99% of the songs are not found because of a different file name. I want to just reset all of my music players and search for media again but I don't see the option. I've already tried clearing data in play music and the stock player to no avail. Anyone else know how to go about this? I'm running twisted ics on the HTC thunderbolt.

Have you tried to wipe data of the app, uninstall the app (by settings - apps), reboot, and re-install the app via the play store. Try this.
You can use Titanium backup too.

Google play music app issue

I'm having issues getting an error trying to play anything. I unchecked cache in the app, cleared data and cache through Apps in settings, deleted and reinstalled, this even happened in stock rom and a custom rom. Suggestions?
Bump for no resolution...
What is with another music titles?
Whether I stream or play downloaded music, I get the same error...
Do you have the app set to downloaded only?
It won't even let me play downloaded music. It's starting to get annoying...
Shot in the dark here...
Do you have multiple Google accounts on your phone?

[Q] CM12S' lockscreen audio visualizer

Does anyone have this working on any other player except Google Play Music?
I simply can't get it to work with GoneMAD or Poweramp, however Google Play Music and Apollo (CM's music player) manages to show it just fine. It worked on CM11S on both Poweramp and GoneMAD so it should probably work in CM12S too. I have obviously enabled the AudioFX equalizer in both GoneMAD and Poweramp and tried out different ways to approach it like disabling all other equalizers, trying to turn one thing off and enabling the other and AudioFX itself works and the album art is shown in the background, but the lockscreen visualizer does not show in these applications. Completely stock except root, so no modifications done.
Anyone have any tricks to get this working or can at least confirm this is a problem?
have it working on spotify

Really? Because I just tried Spotify and it doesn't do it there either. Now, I don't subscribe to the service so I dunno if that has anything to do with it, but it certainly does not show the visualizer at the lockscreen except the album art.
I also tried wiping the device, formatting system, data, cache, Dalvik and installing CM12 from scratch with only GoneMAD and Spotify installed and neither of them did it then either.
i dont have it working either with spotify - was previously on cm11s
I just tried with Poweramp, and it works just fine on my phone... But I don't have all the other music playing apps, just this one... Maybe they're interfering with one another?
I changed back to stock theme and it works. It wasn't on elixium theme

Did not work unfortunately.
I've tried everything at this point. I even wiped the entire device (even internal storage) and installed everything completely stock and it still doesn't work so this is extremely strange.
My apologies, it was working on cm11 but not 12. I kind of like it and would love to get it working on cm12 if anybody knows how

Same problem here. Loved the feature on cm11. I thought they took it away on cm12 and was extremely dissapointed. I was randomly playing a song on google play and I saw the visualizer.
I realized its poweramp that is the problem. I dont know how to fix it, tried reinstalling the app but no luckl.
I had this problem too but when i use my bluetooth headphone, the equalizer show up on the lockscreen. When i switch back to my wired headphone, the equalizer goes missing.
The same happens for me. I have the latest CM OTA update as of time of the post.
I have only ES Explorer Media Player, I disabled Google Music and AudioFX but not force closed the latter, enabled the option in Settings-->Lockscreen, but the visualization shows only when linked to loudspeaker with Bluetooth
