Summary	0021508: Casting: lockscreen metadata doesn't display (regression)
Description	Build 2.0.4.2108 doen't display correct metadata on the lockscreen player when casting. Instead of metadata it shows 'MediaMonkey' / '<Cast location>'. - This doesn't occur when casting via other players - This doesn't occur for MM widgets (i.e. the issue is specific to the system widget that appears on the lockscreen) - The issue doesn't occur on Android 15 (Pixel 7), but always occurs on Android 14 (S24), and sometimes occurs on Android 12 (S10).
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build

martin 2025-02-24 13:26 developer ~0078347	This is not our notification that you see, but "Cast media control notifications" https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7206638?hl=en-SG when you swipe the notification, you will probably see our playback notification too. The casting notification can be disabled for all casting via https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S-Phones/How-do-I-get-rid-of-the-smart-home-media-status-on-my-lock/td-p/2797927 However, I can see that this is no longer occurring for Spotify and YouTube music. I believe this is related to the latest casting framework library, but updating to the latest library can bring other regression and should be tested in BETA so I am pushing this issue to 2.0.5

rusty 2025-02-24 14:13 administrator ~0078350	Yes, MMA's playback status briefly flashes on the lock screen player correctly and is then quickly replaced with the lock screen player that shows 'MediaMonkey' / '<Cast location>'.
