 I'll fix this shortly.

 miniplayer is displayed but is empty. This is just cosmetic mostly but
 possible solutions are: we allow the miniplayer to start playback without
 going into mythmusic; don't show the miniplayer at all or display a
 message telling the user to start mythmusic first.

 Ideally you should be able to start the player without having to go to the
 main playback screen but at the moment it's not possible to know exactly
 what the current playlist should be. You'd think it would just be the
 active play list from the DB but that isn't always the case - the user
 could have been playing tracks from the 'All My Music' part of the music
 tree so the active playlist isn't correct.

 If you and the other devs agree at some point I'd like to change things so
 that when tracks, albums or artist etc are selected in the 'All My Music'
 part of the tree they get added to the active playlist rather that just
 start playing them possibly with an option to replace, insert or append
 them like you can in other parts of MythMusic.
