Re: emms-time-display-style

[address@hidden]

Thank you for prompt response!

I tried on 3 different machines and different emacs distributions to no avail.

I tried gnu, melpa, git emms package - every time I get only counter progressing as if the variable "Emms Playing Time Display Short P" was set, but it is not.

I don't even get the counter of a style like "01:23 / 05:48" but only "01:23"

Here's screen:

Playing time style is set to "downtime" but the counter format stays the same ( "01:23")  or in the case above ("00:09")

Any advice?

regards!
