When I start playing a track using Plexamp 1.0.0 on MacOS 10.13.2 I see no music controls, nor info about what’s playing. No back/next. No Play/pause. No track/album/artist info. No buttons to switch to Lyrics or Visualizer. Only the Visualizer itself, which would appear behind it all anyway.
It’s almost like the whole UI layer just…doesn’t exist in the “Now Playing” view. I can search and select songs just fine.
The logs themselves don’t appear to show much, but when I run it from the CLI, I see this in stdout on startup:
error: Unhandled Rejection! false == true

Similar problem here. I can log into my Plex server and it can see my songs, playlists and radio stations, but nothing plays and I’m stuck on a blank screen once I’ve clicked the play button. Here are a few screenshots to demonstrate the screen before I click on the play icon:
I was at least expecting to see some WinAmp controls. But there’s not even a way to do system things, like adjust volume, move the window, or kill the window.
I had to start it up several times, getting the message “Music Server Not Found” or some such, and finding the only way to kill the window, even now, is with the Activity Monitor.
I’m having the same problem as the original post, but I’m using Windows 10. I exited and started the program up again, and have the same issue. I can see some of the visualizations as the song plays (but not all of them), but no track information nor controls of any sort. I do get a little icon opposite the magnifying glass at the bottom of the player (unlike the second poster, I also hear the music unlike him), a few horizontal lines and an arrow partway down indenting a few of them. Clicking the icon will turn it orange or white, but doesn’t appear to do anything. I tried the keybinding for showing visualizations, just in case that as it, and turned them off with it, but wasn’t able to get album artwork or media controls when I did. I also tried the lyrics keybinding, and nothing appeared.
I never had a problem playing music. It seems to play just fine. It’s merely the display of the controls.

mpd alone; no music plays when I run mpd standalone before plexamp:
In order to start MPD standalone, you need to pass it a special environment variable called FFMPEG_EXTERNAL_LIBS and point it to e.g. /Users/elan/Library/Application\ Support/Plexamp/Codecs/6bd6751-1276-darwin-x86_64/ on my system (trailing slash required).
I never had a problem playing music. It seems to play just fine. It’s merely the display of the controls.
So just to be clear, they don’t show up at all when hovering? Or they don’t show playback progress?
(sorry for the questions, hard to keep track of all the different threads )

Ok! I’ll give that a try.

It’s as if that layer doesn’t exist. Hovering doesn’t bring it up. There’s no playback progress. Even if I click where the controls should be, nothing happens.

No worries. There are a lot of bugs flying around!

And for sure you’ve tried de-focusing and re-focusing the app, and mousing over the lower third?
Looking back at your original logs, it does seem like the server process has trouble talking to MPD (which would result in the app not having any status about playback).
If you’re technical and know your Terminal, DM me and I’ll set up a Slack for us to chat in.

Yes, I’ve definitely un-focused and re-focused. I’ve switched to other apps, desktops, clicked around like a madman…nothing :(. I don’t even have the “now playing” information like I see in your video. I don’t see the track or artist.
