Play Music Album art lockscreen - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I just got a Nexus 5 and I believe my lock screen should show the full album art work of the music I'm listening to in Play Music and also have some controls. It sometimes works when I first switch on my phone, but the function quickly goes. Does anyone know how to get it to stay?
I'm running 4.4.2 and I have lock screen widgets enabled. I tried disabling it and that doesn't seem to do the trick.
Any help greatly appreciated as been bugging me all day!

I use power amp and it work all the time at lock screen.. Just for your information..

Nitrogen 1.1 problem

Has anyone else experienced a stutter in music when playing music with Nitrogen and then turning the screen off? It plays fine normally with the screen on but when ever switching it off it tends to skip frequently.
Using HD2 Cell Evo V1

Hi thanks for the reply, however that is not the problem. When using that "screen switch off button", the music does indeed not stop but it tends to skip and jump, almost as if I was running loads of applications and it was struggling to find the resources to play properly. I don't have anything else running and so this isn't the case. Im thinking it may perhaps be an issue with the custom rom Im using as the manila tab music player doesnt work properly either, guess I should try flash a different rom and see!
I too have this problem - I have the custom O2 ROM. It got so annoying that I reverted to using the Windows music player, which does not share the issue.

its a strange one isn't it. On my Touch Pro 2, scrolling through the list of songs used to be jittery like it wasn't fast enough to handle it, on the HD2, scrolling is fine but suffers the music playback problem, strange!

[BUG REPORT] Music during Device Unlock

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a ROM level issue or a device based issue.
When listening to music, Sirius, Amazon Cloud Player, Pandora, and the screen is off. If you go to turn on the screen and try to unlock, the music skips during the unlock. This has happened with Infused v2B2 and CM7.
It's not completely bothersome, but I know when I had my N1, I never had this issue.
Thanks!
Same issue nothing to worry about probably just a glitch.

Did anyone get this lockscreen issue resolved yet? I was trying to search for the solution to this problem to no avail. It seems that it has gotten a bit worse than it originally was. It didnt bother me that much in the beginning but now it seems that the lock screen has to be dragged multiple times to get it to register my touch. ofcourse if i am playing music while trying to unlock the screen, it will stutter severely.
I am running Infused 2.1.0 with the latest Infusion GB kernel

Youtube fullscreen problem

Hey
Just posting here in case anyone else is having this problem and has found a solution.
The problem is that once I set a youtube video into full screen, I cant get the video player controls to appear again when tapping the screen, meaning I can't seek or pause the video unless I press back to get to the small player. This only happens on my note 12.2 and not on my other devices running the same youtube version (nexus 5 and 7).
I have rooted and flashed the near stock rom from Gatsrom and am using CivZ kernel rev3.0
Uninstalling updates to the youtube app does fix the problem though, so it looks like it might be a problem specific to the note with the latest youtube, so I was wondering if anyone else has hit on this same glitch?
This happens on CivZ rom too, with CivZ kernel or stock kernel. Probably a YouTube glitch.
I am stock non rooted and it's happening to me too..Has to be a YT issue.

The Youtube app isn't adapted to work with screensizes above 11" yet. That's why.
Essentially what happens is the app is stretched and the HUD bugs out because of it.
Must be a regression in the newest version of the app then, since it used to work fine. I've sent feedback to Google regarding this via the youtube app.
Thanks for chiming in everyone!

Same problem here.
It's really irritating! When i enter the Youtube app from a link (in chrome) and then hit the full screen button, and then i want to pause the video, i need to hit the back button but that's immediately takes me back to last app (chrome).
i found out that if I want it to stay in Youtube app, i need to: press the link (in chrome or gmail app), lower the minimized video to the right bottom side of the screen, then enlarge the screen again, after all that i can hit the full screen button and if i want to pause i can hit the back button and it will not exit the app.
Oddly enough the interface can be forced to show up in full-screen mode using the play/pause media controls command. For example if one clicks the button on a pair of headphones with a play/pause button while in full-screen mode then the video will pause and controls show up on screen. As soon as the controls fade away due to the standard interface delay they cannot be brought back by screen touch gestures but the headphones button will bring them back.
Since I'm rooted and use tons of customizations, I've set up a custom gesture in GMD gesture control to invoke the media play/pause command as a work around to this issue in YouTube until it's fixed. I now simply tap and hold 5 fingers on the screen while YouTube is playing full-screen and the video pauses and Youtube displays the player interface.

I have the same problem both on Note Pro and Tab Pro. Very irritating.

I confirm that the problem is solved with version 6. You can get it from here as I did if you don't want to wait to roll out to your country's play store.

[Q] cm 12 5.02 nexus 5 freaks out on full screen video

I'm having a weird issue, mostly with twitch, some times with MX players, and some times with games, where if im watching something landscape, and switch to portrait, i suddenly lose notification bar/homebackmulti etc. If I put the phone to sleep it comes back to a black screen where some times the app will come back up somes times not. Any ideas whats wrong? its like fullscreen stuff causes the launcher to crash I guess?
Bump? Seems my system setting and ui crash on full screen video/games

Help! Get rid of lock screen app!

Hi guys
New to the forum.
I have been playing around with my car Bluetooth audio, trying to pair it up (was a nightmare). However I have noticed now that I have a second kind of lock screen? It's the little lock button on the bottom of the screen.
This stops me from using my finger print unless I swipe up to unlock, the first screen? To then gain access to Samsung's lock screen? It's so annoying! Can anyone tell me what it is and how I remove?
Thanks in advance
Sam

That is just an annoying aspect of the operating system. I hate it but there is no way to remove it.
I had same problem, the only way I could find to remove was to disable smart lock in settings.
