I have set the photo album as a widget on 1 of my homepages, and whilst it shows any pictures ive taken, it doesnt show any videos. To view the videos you have to actually go into the app, change folder and locate the videos manually.
Is there any way to get the videos to appear in the widget? or does anyone know of a better 'media' widget similar to the photo album
thanks

Yes. As far as I know the My Library widget only shows cover art for music uploaded to Google Music, not for locally stored music. So if oyu're not in the US, it's not going to work

even i'm outside US, my album art still can be uploaded to google music and display in my music widget.
Its a shame that it wont display album´s cover locally stored. Its a freaking cool looking widget.
So for the first time , i looked at the FM Radio App a few days ago, and i liked the music visualizer background, how exactly would i put this in the music app background as well as something similar to the Music Widget?
i tried decompiling it and messing about with both the apps but couldn't figure it out
ps yes this is going in my rom
pps yes your credits will be found here
Walkman has a separated Music Visualiser... While playing music, on Now Playing screen, press menu button, and choose Visualizer...
question
not that
i like how to FM Radio has the background as the music Visualizer, i wanted to Replace the Walkman background with it, and if people want full screen visualizer then they can open it up in the menu
Hi,
I just started using Google Play Music after giving up on Walkman as it does not allow for organizing my collection by genre (which would mean years of genre organization wasted...).
Anyway, as this is also my first Android phone, I would really appreciate if someone could help me with a couple of questions:
1) "Like" in lock screen: I would like to have a shortcut to the "like" button on the lock screen, as I want to teach Google my music taste so it can make better mixes for me... however I don't want to unlock the phone, open Play Music, swipe up for the "Now Playing" screen and then finally hit "Like" to do it...
2) Good album artwork support: I realized that Play Music just selected a random album artwork to display with all of a band's songs, regardless if they are of that album or not... is this a bug or what? The artwork itself is also not very high quality... perhaps it was already on my collection folder (which I copied to my SD card)?
3) How to see the album of a given song? When a song is playing, since the artwork does not match the actual album of the song (verified by a few songs and albums which I know the artwork well), I don't know how to check its album! It doesn't show neither in the lock screen or in the "now playing" Play Music screen... I actually need to hit the "Go to album" in the options menu in the now playing screen just to see its name...
4) Provided that #2 can be solved: is there a way to have the lockscreen show the artwork in full screen? Just to keep it less boring...
Many thanks!
Leo.
How can I get album art for my music collection in mtcmusic? In poweramp I simply need to hold down on the song and it'll download/display options for album art. I like poweramp but really enjoy the way mtcmusic "integrates" with the home screen (shuts down radio to switch to music and vice versa, but won't if your using power-amp instead of mtcmusic)
thanks

Tasker and a rooted HU can allow any music app to shut off the radio.

I really like Jack's Music Widget, lets you integrate just pure album art to a home screen.

Thank you very much for splending answer!
But my HU Joying (rooted MalayskROM) has same issue.
Do I need any customize after activated Xposed mtc?

I do not understand. Xposed is not used. The music widget may not work with mtcmusic.
I too would prefer to use the built in app if I could work our how to get the Album art to display. I have a 4GB stick full of various albums, they have all been ID3 tagged and have had album art applied through Windows Media player. You can check this by finding the file in its folder, when you click the track the album art should appear in the details pane on the right.
Plus I also dropped a JPEG of the album art into each album folder. Now when I play songs through the Native app some show album art and some don't, but I can't figure out the difference between the ones that do and ones that don't!

Did you ever figure it out?

No!, I have no idea what's going on but I have noticed something else. EVERY album displays album art on the widget on the home screen.
To clarify, if I go into the music app and start playing an album that is not displaying album art. I hit the home button and it does display the art on the widget.
So now I'm even more confused!

@scatamonky, I use Mp3Tag to apply all my cover arts and my OEM player shows the covers always, give it a try make couple mp3's with cover art and see if it shows: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
By jove Reptile I think you've cracked it. I downloaded the MP3 Tag editor and the albums that don't show album art in the player do not have anything showing up and the ones that do....do!
I was using Windows media Player and it was clearly telling me lies.
Thanks !!!
I am glad it helped show your problem :good:
Tested and Working! Using the MP3 Tag editor highlighted by Reptile I now have album art displaying for every album I have. Which is about 19GB worth so far.!!!!
For anyone else experiencing this issue, do not trust Windows Media Player to add your art. If I opened folders on my PC and clicked on a song it would show album art in the details pane on the right but still NOT show art in the car!
Using the MP3 Tag editor I was able to see that WMP only seems to associate art with a file as long as its on the same PC, as soon as you take that file away to another player the art is gone.
This was frying my noodle for a long time so I'm really happy to have it resolved at last!!!
