Problem displaying "playing now" on 16x2 lcd

I am trying to get my volumio 1.55 displaying the song text etc. Unfortunately, this is not working yet on my RPi B.
I followed instructions from andypi.co.uk/?p=334.
The LCDd is working, see attachments.

LCDd started:

Diplayed when mpdlcd is started:

The output when playing songs is like this (when I enable debug in mpdlcd.conf):

DEBUG mpd Calling MPD currentsong() DEBUG mpdlcd.mpdwrapper MPD currentsong: {} DEBUG mpdlcd.mpdwrapper Fetching MPD elapsed and total time DEBUG mpd Calling MPD status() DEBUG mpdlcd.mpdwrapper Fetching MPD state DEBUG mpd Calling MPD status() DEBUG mpdlcd.mpdwrapper MPD state: 'stop' DEBUG mpdlcd.mpdwrapper Fetching MPD song information DEBUG mpd Calling MPD currentsong() DEBUG mpdlcd.mpdwrapper MPD currentsong: {} DEBUG mpdlcd.mpdwrapper Fetching MPD elapsed and total time

Does this mean the mpdlcd cannot rereive info?

Any ideas on how to fix this?

— UPDATE----

This seems only to happen when using spotify!
