Lockscreen widget does not display Artist

[breversa]

The "Now playing"/music control widget on the lockscreen does not display the Artist, only the TrackName and Album (one the same line, without scrolling).

It's apparently not a problem of space, as there seems to be sufficient space above the TrackName to display the Artist.

Expected behaviour :

• first line of the widget displays the artist
• second line displays the track name followed by the album
• if any of these lines is to long to fit onscreen, scroll back and forth to display it

Phone :
Samsung Nexus S I9023
CyanogenMod 10.1.3-RC2 (Android 4.2.2)

I would suggest just having three lines–artist, album, title–as there's plenty of vertical space.

As of 0.9.24, it displays "TrackName - ArtistName", but still on one line, without scrolling.

That's a small but nice step closer ! ;-)

As of 0.9.26, the lockscreen widget now displays on two lines :
TrackName (scrolling ! :D )
Album (not scrolling :( )

… but now the Artist is missing. It's getting close though, thanks already ! ;-)

I'm sorry, but this is controlled by the operating system:
Vanilla Music passes the Artist, Album, Title and CoverArt to the 'RemoteControlClient'.

It is the job of the OS itself to choose how to display this information, eg:
On my Motorola G i get:
TITLE
ARTIST - ALBUM

On my Xperia Z (AOSP) i get:
TITLE
ALBUM

Closing this bug as it 'works as designed' (by your rom vendor)
