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.
Mods, close or delete this, sorry. It is for the Samsung Galaxy S3

Ok, this was just damn strange - So my Nexus was in my pocket and I take it out. Out of no where, songs start playing that I have in my library without me having pressed any buttons. My first thought was maybe I accidentally hit a button and no big deal. So I open my current apps and see that the google music player wasn't even on. I launched the actual google music app to then stop the song from there and couldn't locate the "Now Playing" song either! So I was left with no other choice but to restart the phone!
Anyone else experience this one?
How odd. Do you have any other music/media players? Even possibly a file manager? Maybe there's a bug with one of them.

I have a very similar issue, but it occurs most often when I automatically connect to Bluetooth in my car. I use Spotify so it clashes with Google Music too and causes this scramble of both players playing music on top of each other.
But I am very curious about this too, although it pops up primarily on my bluetooth. Google Music will just begin playing songs and further more I don't ever use it or initiate it. After a while I will get an error saying "Music has unexpectedly stopped working".
I've also closed the app as much as possible in Settings>Apps so I don't understand why it keeps playing and showing up repeatedly.
I had this issue with the Google music player also, I use power amp pro as my main music player and one day music started to play, I checked power amp pro and nothing so then I checked Google music and that was the problem. I disabled Google music. Also Google music app was force closing on me ever few days don't know why.

Is there any way to disable the KitKat music lockscreen feature? I would prefer to see my default lockscreen widget (DashClock) and not the music control upon waking up my device. With the music lockscreen, it overrides the default order and shows up first upon device wake.
The reason for asking is because I'm mounting the Nexus 7 in the car. With the DashNotifier extension, DashClock can automatically turn on the screen and display new notifications as they come in. However, if I'm running Spotify (or other music apps), the music lockscreen controls would be shown first instead, requiring me to swipe once before displaying DashClock. This defeats the purpose of automating the entire process for hands-free notifications. So is there any way to disable the music lockscreen or make DashClock show as default regardless of music playback?
Anyone have an idea why my music controls are missing on the lock screen? I am using Google music, sometimes the album art shows but no ability to pause or skip to next song.
TIA
If you are still in the music app when the screen is locked, lockscreen music controls wont show. Exit application and retest
I'm having a problem with music controls not displaying on the lock screen. As I play a song on either pandora or google play music, I'll hit the power button to turn the screen off then back on with no music controls or album art work. It works flawlessly on my galaxy s5. Any suggestions on how to get this functionality back? Thanks
Odd. When I play music I get music controls in this lock screen but no album art work. Just the pause and play and change track is what I get in the bottom left when in the lock screen. I used the ruglar music player.
I believe it has something to do with touchwiz and the software, unless you get a aosp rom then you'd see it

I downloaded AcDisplay from the play store, in the settings I enabled it to be my LockScreen and now I finally have music controls and album art on lock screen. This works for all of my music apps.
I randomly started to get this issue where, when I play music, lock and unlock my phone, it'll start to repeatedly crash until I stop playing music. So the cause has to do with the little music display that shows up on the lockscreen when you play music. It'll load into a different looking screen with the same lockscreen background, and not the Album background, and then it'll crash, and it'll just repeat this until I stop the music. Is there a way to disable the music display? I use Doubletwist as my music player. I haven't rooted or tampered with any of the firmware on this device (yet). I have fully updated its firmware, however.
Please let me know if anyone needs extra information to help solve this problem. Thanks in advance!
Edit: This only seems to happen when the track doesn't have any album artwork.
