Where has my Google Play Music lock screen control gone?

[AC Question]

I have an HTC One M8 and just upgraded to the newest Lollipop, and now when I play music through Google Play Music, in order to change songs or pause I have to unlock my screen completely and swipe down the notification bar. I used to have previous/pause/next buttons on my lock screen when songs were playing. I updated the music app itself and it still isn't back. I can't find a setting for this anywhere.

Hello,
I'm experiencing the same kind of problem : the control button of my headset are not recognized when it's plugged in and neither are the control buttons when I'm listening through Bluetooth in my car. It seems that when the screen is lock, the control buttons don't function anymore.
Does anyone have a solution ?
Thanks

if you enable lock screen notifications, you'll get the play music controls back. i find this really annoying, i don't like these lock screen notifications at all, even if you hide the "sensitive" content. i'd really like to go back to seeing the notifications bar on the lock screen and just have the music controls on the screen.
