| Summary | 0020247: Windows Media Controls OSD don't show Track Album art | ||||
| Description | Windows 10 OSD do not show Track Album art for MM played track, unlike some other apps like Browsers which shows Video thumbnail in OSD when playing YT video Test notes: MM4, AIMP, WMP do not show anything MM5 Show Track info without AA even there is a space for AA Media player (Groove) show info and default player Image Vivaldi, FF, Edge, Chrome show thumbnail of played Video as user pointed in forum topic | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Play track in MM that have AA 2. Use MediaKeys to Play/Pause or Vol+/- while MM is playing track with AA and OSD should show without AA 3. Repeat same with FF/Edge/Chrome playing Video from YT and AA is seen (Close MM as OSD have arrow switch to cycle apps as seen on MM screenshot) | ||||

In Windows 11, the Media Controls work a bit differently (though I suspect it uses the same API as Windows 10): by default, pressing Play/Pause OR adjusting the volume doesn't trigger the OSD. The OSD can be shown via the WINDOWS - A shortcut (or clicking the tray speaker icon). Unfortunately, the bug is more severe with Win11 as MediaMonkey doesn't display at all in the OSD (unlike YouTube Firefox videos, the default Windows video Player, or Foobar2k). Note: tested with MMW 5.1 portable |

This is working for windows 11 (tested build 3521). No need to make any changes for Windows 10. |

Few Tweaks for MM 2027.1 i) This generally work with few exceptions It does not update AA when until track change. 1. Play track without AA -> OSD shows no Album Art 2. Lookup Album Art -> Save to tag 3. OSD still do not show AA 4. Change Track and play affected track again -> AA shows ii) now that #14623 is implemented same thing should be applied to OSD in which case if #14623 criteria is met and playing track is from Compilation Album then Artist is sent to OSD API instead of Album Artist (which is sent by default). iii) As this work normally now, Maybe we can use/add OSD as option in Popup settings? |

Fixed in build 3522. WMC are now updated after tag/artwork change and we do not pass album artist, if it is compilation or various artists and artist exists. Last thing - use it instead of our popup - is not possible, we cannot affect when and where Windows displays this OSD, we can only fill values there. |
|
|
Much Better: - Various Artist and compilations now Show Correct artist in OSD - YT Video Shows Thumb But Info are not Correct (should reflect MM Now Playing Info) Not Working: - AA is not update on Freshly updated/looked up AA RE Media OSD: That is not True (Attached Sample APP that works Triggering OSD For Active registered player [MM if started]) TEST NOTE: Use My supplied app to Trigger OSD even if you do not have MediaKeys. |
|
|
Note: We have found that both Win 10 and Win 11 use single WMC for multiple apps and > switch between them. Problem looks like WMC also Detect MM YT player as separate App and on Win 10 it can show wrong one in WMC OSD. |
|
|
Fixed in build 3523. Artwork updates should be now ok even for autosearched album artworks from Playing node. Youtube now uses only our title and subtitle/artist, Chromium YT player instance of WMC OSD suppressed. |
