Now playing screen rendering issues

The album doesn’t render, the Airplay button is blank, and the track list button is pure grey when active.

This should be fixed in the latest version. Please let me know if it happens again. Ideally using the "Report Bug" feature in the app as the attached logs are often useful. Thank you.

While I haven't been able to reproduce this, I've identified a code path which could cause this. A fix is in the works. It's in the 2.6 (2181) beta build.

Saw this happen again. The main album list has the correct album art, but the now playing list still renders without the art, and the airplay button is white instead of black like the rest of the buttons. This is an album that I’ve had in my library for a couple weeks now. This is from the latest App Store build.

Yeah, the album artwork might then not be ready. A workaround is typically to open the Library > Albums view in Apple Music. That should then give it a nudge to provide it to third-party apps, too.

Colin Buttimer

Me too. Since the last app update the album art is blank.

This may be related to listening to an album that I had just added to my library in Apple Music. Listening to other albums does not exhibit this issue anymore.
