My Question or Issue

I have implemented the "Android Media Notifications" / Broadcast Receiver, to get info of currently playing music.
Unfortunately there are some "bugs".

1. Metadata of Podcasts are not updating with a "Metadata Changed" event but in the "playback state changed" event.

2. With podcasts, when getting the metadata in the playback event, the artist is empty and the artist is in the album field.
3. Podcasts do not broadcast the length, only the current position, that is unfortunately useless if there is no length to compare with.

Also the guide should be updated, declaring the broadcast in manifest doesn't seem to work anymore.
