Describe the Bug

When no song is playing - the miniplayer opens and shows something.
When a song is playing - the miniplayer opens white. Songs stops playing.

The compact player bug #876 is still there in latest release - I cannot reopen it :(

Steps to Reproduce

1. clicked on play on a playlist
2. clicked on miniplayer

Anything else?

No response

On windows I can enter the mini and compact player mode when a song is playing.
But leaving the compact player mode I get also a white screen and a freeze of cider...

[ChrisLauinger77]

It is with latest update still reproducable - when a song is playing it results in white window.
When I stop playing a song (not pause stop over dbus dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.cider /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Stop) it works though.

It is not linux specific - it also happens on win10 (just tested it on a notebook)
