Issues with Media Control Options on Android Smart Phone

Hi,

I've noticed some issues with the Media Control Options available on my Android Phone:

 

1) Playback mp3 file:
The App will show the Track-Info with a PAUSE button on the bottom of the Screen.
--> Why not displaying all typical media Navigation options such as: STOP/PAUSE, forward, backward?
At least, it should display PAUSE / STOP or Play.

 

2) I have created Online Radio Streams with STRM files.
When I start a stream, I do not have ANY option displayed in the Screen.
There is no PAUSE / STOP information, nor any information that anything will be played at the moment.

 

The only information is the "Quick Tipp" at the top, near the clock, where I can PAUSE the Playback, but not stop it.

 

Device: Android Version 9
Emby App seems to be the latest... there are no updates available.

Ok, maybe, I can specify my post above a bit:

 

starting the Emby App the first time, the playback bar is not visible.

Starting the Playback with another Music File (Mp3) will show the playback bar.
When I then switch to my Radio Streams, this bar will still be present and provide the PAUSE button and the Playback information.

You can click the playlist button to get to the now playing screen, and then you have all of those functions.

yes, but this is in my opinion one unnecessary step...

 

I think, the Player Bar on the Android App should look the same as it is in the Web-Interface:

From the "Play Queue", I would also like to have a "play" button visible - that would be more intuitive... something, like it is at google play music:

But the main topic is still, that the Android App will not show the Playback Bar at all, when I select the Radio Stream.
I need to start paying back an mp3 in order to get the Playback Bar - then, after stopping the Playback and starting the Stream, the bar will be available...

I will see, if I can get some screenshots, or screencasts, where this is visible... :)

The player bar is the same but at smaller screen sizes we have to reduce the amount of buttons shown.

@@Luke, never mind about the controls on that bar :)
More important to me is still, why it is not always shown (especially, when I start with streaming my radio streams)

do you need one of the strm files for testing?

Hi Luke, here's the content of my strm files for the radio playback:

 

File:

Volume/media/audio/radio/sunshine live/sunshinelive.strm

Content:

http://sunshinelive.hoerradar.de/sunshinelive-live-mp3-hq

File:

Volume/media/audio/radio/swr 3/swr3.strm

Content:

http://swr-swr3-live.cast.addradio.de/swr/swr3/live/mp3/128/stream.mp3

The folder volume/media/audio/radio is set as library in emby
Library-Type: Music

 

Hope, that does help.
