Maybe I'm not seeing an option. I'd also like to see the lyrics for the song playing, how do you pull that up?
Pressing "info" doesn't open the osd controls, you need to press whatever is mapped to "osd" in your keymap (the keyboard default is "m") - both confluence and aeon nox operate the same way so I take this as the default expected behaviour (i.e. controls show when pressing "osd" and info shows when pressing "info"). There's plenty of controls in the osd -- from left to right: playlist, shuffle, repeat, back, rewind, pause, stop, fast forward, next, lyrics (its the one that looks like a microphone), then music visualisation options.
For lyrics, you might have to set up what lyrics plugin you are using in "Settings > Skin > Add-ons > Songtext addon". Then turn them on with the microphone icon in the osd controls.
The music info displays the Album description followed by the Artist description using built-in xbmc info labels. Inaccuracy in the info is related to whatever scraper you use for your library info - its simply whatever the info is in your library for that track, there's nothing fancy going on.

It works this way in Aeon Nox, but doesn't appear to have the same effect in Arctic. Will keep playing around to see if a refresh is triggered in another way.
Ah I see. I use Tvheadend and have never had that problem. I'll have a look at the Aeon Nox code when I get a chance to see if I can see what is done differently.
