New Spotify player on lock screen missing most buttons when playing podcasts

[fufme]

I got a 14T a few days ago and I mostly like it a lot, but one serious problem for me is the fact that, when I play a podcast on spotify, the player widget on the lock screen ONLY has a play/pause button and nothing else. Specifically, it does not have buttons to skip forward/backward by 15 or so seconds, which is a feature that I need A LOT, because I listen to podcasts in spanish in order to learn the language, and am constantly skipping back to listen to some part hat I did not understand propperly the first time around.

Anyway, this problem was already discussed on the forums over a year ago, and, insanely, it still seems to persist: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...screen-when-playing-podcast-on-spotify.71337/

It is incredible to me that one of the central features of one of the biggest apps in the world would remain broken for that long. PLEASE do something to fix this. I don't care if the buttons are big or small, just so long as they are THERE.AT.ALL.

That issue with the missing skip buttons on the lock screen Spotify widget is definitely annoying, especially if you're using podcasts for language learning. It seems like a long-standing bug with MIUI and Spotify integration. Unfortunately, it's not something you can fix from your end unless a future update resolves it. In the meantime, you might try using a different podcast app like Pocket Casts or Google Podcasts, which usually offer better media controls on the lock screen. Hopefully Xiaomi or Spotify pushes an update soon to fix this.
