Media widget doesn't update

Bug Reports

The Niagara music/media widget is stuck on a specific song and doesn't update to what I'm listening to even if I restart Niagara, the phone or the music player (foobar2000).

    Thanks for the report! Niagara's media widget mirrors whatever media session Android itself is showing, so a good next step is to fully expand the quick settings panel and look at the media player there (on Samsung it sits in the media section).

    If Android's own player is stuck on the same old song, then the stale session comes from the player app rather than from Niagara, and foobar2000's media notification would be the place to look. If the shade shows the current song while Niagara's widget doesn't, that one is on us. Could you let us know here which of the two you see?

    Some background on how the widget picks up playback: Integrated Media Widget.
