Galaxy s7 nova launcher question..lock screen music widget not working?

[Pat_ai2009]

use to have a htc m8 with nova launcher and never had a problem with my lock screen when playing music i can forward or pause/play on the lock screen with either pandora/spotify or any mp3 app, with my s7 i can only get my lockscreen "widget" i guess you could say with my mp3 player app.. really want to figure out how to get my pandora/spotify on my lock screen so i dont have to unlock my phone every time i want to change a song. any help would be really appreciated i will post a screen shot of what im talking about soon my s7 is in the middle of a SW update

Was your M8 on Lollipop or KitKat when you had it? If it was KitKat, it may have been due to the fact that lockscreen widgets were eliminated starting with Lollipop (and Nova can't add them back).

Also, custom launchers don't control the lockscreen, just your home screens and app drawer.
