After listening songs we put on pause, then lock the screen and the screen will show the player how to remove it from there? (Player)
Also, if you keep pressing back, the song/radio is still shown on the lockscreen. Any ideas?
nope, its not working =\
any idea?
I found this program, if it helps:
Stop the Music!

Reposting here, I accidentally posted this under the Note II.
Running Codename Android, and as the title says, sometimes the media playback controls show up on my lock screen and sometimes they don't. I haven't been able to figure out what causes them to show up.
Apps: Google Play Music, BeyondPod
BeyondPod uses the stock controls of google play, or appears to. When playing podcasts, the lock screen controls are there about 80% of the time (so far). Is this a common issue? Is there any fix? Or alternatively, is there any free solution which puts universal media controls on the lock screen?
I have looked around and found widget locker, etc but I prefer not to use that.
Just got my nexus 5 yesterday and am loving it so far! Weird quirk with it is although I have enabled widgets in the Security Settings, the lock screen controls when I use Google Play Music don't appear on the lock screen. Sometimes it flashes for a second with the album art then disappears back to the regular clock. Is there some setting that I should check to make sure the music controls aren't being overridden? I have the lock screen set on slide to unlock, not sure what else I need to check. Any help would be appreciated Thanks!
Same problem, bump
Lockscreen music controls no longer show up for some reason. Tried playerpro, google music, and pandora.
Mine works correctly on slide lock. I was just admiring it earlier. Huge improvement
I have the same problem using mtv music app. It seems my nexus "forgets" it is playing music even while it's playing music in the background. Randomly the music controls in the notification bar disappears, and even with it the lockscreen controls. I think it is a kind of strange power saving bug in 4.4.. Maybe it is possible to raise the music players priority. Any ideas are appreciated
thanks and regards
Edit: tested a little bit and it seems this bug only comes while streaming via Bluetooth. Had it with my bt headset and while streaming music at the dvr.
Maybe you can confirm that you discovered the bug while streaming via bluetooth, too.
same problem here
Same issue here but not only for Bluetooth. My lockscreen is secured by a PIN because I encrypted my phone. Maybe this is the problem?!
Sup guys. @Awks
I came across the same bug on my Nexus 4, too.
Tried the following: wiped cache, wiped play music data, fiddled around with lockscreen security settings. No luck.
Then, managed to fix it.
I had this one app, called JAYS Headset Control, that allowed to assign functions to headset button clicks. I simply uninstalled that **** and now s'all good.
So beautiful lockscreen with album art & all: https://db.tt/HfD6m3ds
Too bad I now have to re-download my 3GB music library, d'oh.
So if you have any similar apps, be aware that they might cause trouble. Ditch them.
Cheers! Hope this helps.

Hey guys, just got a Moto X and love it. But yesterday night when I was playing music, I unlocked the phone and the album artwork is missing..
The pause and skip buttons appear and work just fine its just the album artwork is gone along with the song title and everything, only shows my wallpaper with the screen controls.
Is there any reason as to why this happened/a fix?
Thanks for any help!

I got this problem the other day, it was gone when I rebooted the phone, but since the last update, my play music doesn't change the song's name when it is playing with the screen locked and I can't get it to work properly :/
I've had this issue from day 1 on Kitkat 4.4. A simple reboot fixes the issue but I believe it has more to do with the Play Music App itself and less to do with the phone. I have not found a permanent fix, but I have however notice the issue is more prevalent when connecting and disconnecting, Bluetooth Audio or connecting or disconnecting headphones with built in controls.
Is there a way to keep a face widget expanded after turning off the screen and then keeping it expanded once the screen is turned off/on instead of clicking on the widget again?
I like the music player once it's expanded and want to keep it that way while I have music playing. This way the player buttons come down more on the screen and more accessible + show the artwork.

Lockscreen with the normal music player and the other is single-tap on the player to show the album cover.
On the plus side, Spotify now works with this music player.
