MM disappears from system media bar shortly after pause/stop [#19797]

Post by trptmd »

Hi everyone,

The player will only show in the system media bar while playing. Several minutes after pausing or stopping MM will disappear from it. This behavior is different from other media players where they will stay in the media bar unless dismissed and are easily resumed. This happens despite setting “show in notifications bar” to “always.” FWIW, this happened in MM 1.x as well. MM is set to “unrestricted” in battery details.

I am running a Samsung Galaxy S10e on Android 12, most recent (and possibly final) update.

Hi,
You can set that option under ☰ -> Setting -> UI -> Notifications.

Hi Peke,

Thank you for the response. Perhaps I was not clear enough in my question. Let me try to restate it.

MMA disappears from the system media controls after I pause the music. I want it to stay there but nothing I do, including setting it to always be present, changes this behavior. This is different from other media players where they will persist in the system media bar after pausing.

Hello again,

According to the bug report this was fixed in build 1068. My phone has that build running now. Here is what is happening now:

Settings screen:

Notifications bar immediately after pausing music:

2 minutes later:

Bear in mind this is the same thing that was happening with the non-beta MMA before I joined the beta program a couple weeks ago.

Thanks for the excellent support!

fyi, beta build 1071 improves this functionality though after awhile:
- MMA will not remain on the lock screen
- MMA will appear on the 'hidden' section of the notifications drawer
- If other audio apps are set to show in the notifications drawer, they may override MMA

Can you confirm that it's working for you?
