Media info only displayed on second attempt

[SebiderSushi]

 * Cinnamon-Screensaver version (cinnamon-screensaver --version) 5.0.6
 * Distribution - Arch and Mint 20.2
 * Graphics hardware & driver used: Intel HD 3000 with mesa + i915
 * 64 bit

Issue cinnamon-screensaver only recognizes active media and displays media info & controls after locking a second time after media has changed.

Steps to reproduce

• Boot up
• Launch e.g. firefox or rhythmbox and start playing some audio
• Lock the screen
• Move the mouse -> Media Info does not appear
• Unlock the screen
• Lock the screen again
• Move the mouse -> Media Info should be there
• Pause the audio that is playing, it might also be necessary to quit the application in order to force cinnamon-screensaver to search for a new audio player
• Start another application and play some audio
• Lock the screen
• Move the mouse -> Media Info does not appear
• Unlock the screen
• Lock the screen again
• Move the mouse -> Media Info should be there

Expected behaviour Media info always appears on lock screen if audio is playing.

Other information First i was only able to reproduce this on arch linux but i just upgraded my linux mint from 20.1 to 20.2 (cinnamon-screensaver got updated from 4.8.1 to 5.0.6) and was able to reproduce it there as well. So i downgraded cinnamon-screensaver to 4.8.1 on my arch linux and it seems to work fine. This also explains why my other machine running manjaro linux does not show this issue, as cinnamon-screensaver is still on 4.8.1 in the manjaro repo.

This is fixed: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/commit/1748efb91b0eddeebada935f762ab4db211576e6

Just need to get a new version out.
