App widget about current playing song not showing up sometimes on GNOME, next/previous song buttons not working

[EmRodDev]

Operating system

Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition)

YouTube Music Desktop App Version

v0.14.5-rc10

Bug description

The widget related to the app with the status of the currently playing song and the pause, play, next and previous song buttons sometimes is not showing up on the GNOME desktop environment, and when it does, the next/previous song buttons doesn't work even if you have songs in a queue.

I also tried skipping and play the previous song functions with my headphones but it also didn't work. I don't know if this is a Wayland related issue so I open this ticket just in case.

Until now, I wasn't able to make the widget appear in order to take it a screenshot, so I'll upload this one using the Brave browser to get an idea of the widget in question.
