MiniPlayer won't show track info?
iTunes 11 is nice but I find a problem with MiniPlayer here.
Is it just me or everyone has the same issue?😟
Windows 7
I'm having a similar issue, though I did get it to show me the track info once - and now it only shows me the "Skip Back" "Pause" "Skip Forward" buttons... Grrrr!
When the miniplayer window is selected, it appears that one of the buttons has focus (which is probably stopping it from showing the track info and keeping the buttons visible), but I can't shift the focus from those controls! :-(.
EDIT: I'm on OS X 10.8.2
Found a fix that fixes my issue:
Move the focus to the search icon, and then Cmd+Opt+M twice to toggle the miniplayer on and off again. Then the track title is shown properly, and the controls are available underneath (when you hover the mouse over).
It doesn't work for me... I'm on Windows 7.😢
I attempted to use the comd+opt+method after focusing the search icon, but it didn't work for me. It's still focused when it comes back. Hitting esc or tabbing away from it still didn't bring up the track info. I still have the play/pause controls.
Oh, hello! Success. So, while the mini-player is focused, and while Find is focused, I hit cmnd+f. Tabbed out of it. Hit cmnd+f again and esc. That brough up my playing track info. I got it come up briefly. But now it's stuck again.
This is weird. Moving focus to the search icon works every time for me. You only have to move focus though, not actually be in "search mode" with the search box too...
Another thing: I have my MiniPlayer window set to be above all other windows. Maybe this makes a difference...
Okay, I can reliably get it back. If I use the tab key I can tab away from whatever has focus and the track info comes up. (make sure your cursor is not over they player though). It seems to work properly for me now and I can't even get it to reproduce the problem now.
Even if song title is displayed it doesn't update when next title is played (currently only tested with Win7(64) and while listening to a radio station...)
Mine is windows vista in English but running in Japanese locale, and itunes in Japanese.
No track info is ever shown, neither for Japanese or English titles.
This is really frustrating since I do actually like the new miniplayer.😐
This seems to be a bug of the PC version.😐
Me, too! I do like the new MiniPlayer but not showing track info is really frustrating...😟
Maybe we need to wait for the update.
I wonder if this is only an issue for international users :/
That seems to be possible...😐 Hope they will fix it soon.
Yet another annoying detail: The miniplayer hotkeys for volume control (ctrl-up, ctrl-down) don't work...
The same for me...
I think the MiniPlayer is something they need to polish.
