lock screen music control bug
asked 2018-11-14 17:28:41 +0300
Since Sailfish 3 the music controls on the lock screen are broken for me.
Only the back button is showing, play/pause and next are missing.

I suggest to use "harbour" unplayer from either Jolla store or storeman/openrepos.org . It's currently better than Jolla's stock player. This is solution for you so that's why it's answer. :)
And it's also still under development. More unplayer users= could motivate developer to update and add more features to it.

I have only play/pause and next with Spotify. Which player are you using?
Giacomo Di Giacomo ( 2018-11-14 17:33:52 +0300 )edit@Giacomo Di Giacomo I use Podcatcher which opens the files in the preinstalled "Media" player.
driva ( 2018-11-14 17:39:07 +0300 )editI open music files in media player only. Only now when I checked what happens on my Xperia X I noticed that the display of the prev/next buttons is dynamic, depending on if there's anything to jump to at all. Like: If I'm at the last track of an album, there's no button for 'next'.
I don't know if this is new in SF3 or not, I just never paid attention.
If podcatcher only passes 1 single file for playback to the media player, it would explain why there's no "next" button. ("previous" is there after a few moments because then it jumps to the beginning of the current track.)
This does not explain the missing play/pause, though. Are these buttons functional when you don't use podcatcher but open music directly in the media player?
