Cover not displayed in Now Playing after choosing songs from list

Issue description:

Hi, an issue I’ve ran into fairly frequently recently:

If i am playing a song list (for example, an Artist’s songs, or an album), after playing a few different songs from the list, the album art will not be displayed in now playing.

In these instances, I have played a song in the list view, and everything is normal. I have then returned to the list from now playing to select a different song while the first song is still playing. I have not selected them from the now playing queue, even though the song would have already been in the queue. Within a few songs the album art stops displaying as in the screenshot.

It doesn’t display as a song that has no art, but is not drawn at all. I’ve attached a screenshot, however, the logs do not correspond to that song. The instance/s of it happening should be near the bottom of the logs, within the last few songs.

The only way to fix this I think is to back fully out of the app/swipe it away from the recent tasks (even if the music stays playing).

This is version 11.3

Thankyou, Toby

This is a Compose bug that I’m tracking as no one contacted me for a crash and this is the workaround to not crash.

I’d need a better repro and a video if you can repro often as I tried a lot and was never able.

In all case please try again with the beta when it’s up, Google have fixed a few bugs that may be related.

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve recorded a video and uploaded it just now with a relevant description, including my username.

The logs for the video are uploaded as tobyburton962.

The logs were already recording beforehand, so the relevant video sequence will be at the end of the logs.

All of this is still on version 11.3 ofc. I’ll try again when the new beta comes out .

Is the compose bug also why the album art seems to disappear from the media session notification sometimes? I assume so.

Ok so not doing anything special :frowning:

Can you try to see if you long press play to fully stop then play again it recovers or not ?

No unrelated open an issue for that.

It doesn’t recover when stopping the playback

Ok :frowning: Google just approved the beta so you should soon be able to update and test again. (And provide new logs if it happens again)

Cant seem to brute force the issue to appear after the update so hopefully that’s good news! Will keep an eye out, and for the media session art problem too.

Damn, I didn’t report this issue which appeared on 6th September thinking it was only happening with my device :slightly_frowning_face:
