NEW: Playing Now Popup (PNP)
whoareyou:
When client is connected to JRiver instance via access key, the PNP gets out of sync and displays information for wrong track
I've seen two variations of this:
1) When client changes from current to next track the PNP displays the information for the prior track in the playlist as next begings playing.
2) After completing playback of one album and then starting playback of a 2nd album, somehow the PNP displays track information for the 1st album as if it is still the current album playing.
Thanks

I have seen something similar too.
For me it is when I am connected as a client to a MC server and then playing to a DLNA zone.

A new "Sidebar" skin has been added in build 32 which is reminiscent of the old Windows Sidebar gadgets. It uses some of the new features supported in the PNP: volume slider and playlist tracks popup.

In the playing now pop up, the expression/field for time of the file is [Duration]. In the popup, "top toolbar" the expressions for elapsed time and duration are {e} and {t} which also seems to match the tutorials for skins. For the playing now pop up the {e} and {t} do not seem to work (I replaced those where [Duration] was). Is there a way to show elapsed time in the playing now popup. I have a feeling I am missing something.
Modified - should have been put in the Skins area. Sorry.
RedJ:
Just discovering this new feature. This is maybe my favorite addition to MC in a while.
That said, for future development, the popping in and out is a bit visually jarring compared to functionality of similar popups. If the rendering engine supports it, I recommend allowing the popup to fade in and out (transition from 0% opacity to 100%, hold, and back to 0%). If fade is not possible, suggest animating it moving on and off the screen, but that's complicated by being able to position it anywhere on the screen, so direction of travel would probably have to be selectable as well.
Agree with @Marko that it would be much more intuitive and better UX if we could move it freely by just click-dragging the popup, even if you want to add a right-click lock position toggle option to prevent unwanted displacement.
I also recommend adding position presets such as lower-left corner/lower-right corner, center screen, etc. as those are likely going to be the most commonly selected positions and it's pretty awkward to nail the exact corner positions.
