[Bug] Engine OS 5.1.1 – Acapella and Instrumental STEM FX buttons stop working when "Hide Title/Artist" is enabled on PRIME 4 G2

Device: Denon DJ PRIME 4 G2 Firmware: Engine OS 5.1.1 Issue Type: Bug / STEM FX

Bug Description:

I discovered a bug in Engine OS 5.1.1 on my Denon DJ PRIME 4 G2.

When the “Hide Title/Artist” option is enabled under Settings → Device, the physical ACAPELLA and INSTRUMENTAL STEM FX buttons stop working.

Disabling “Hide Title/Artist” restores their normal functionality.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open Settings → Device.

  2. Enable “Hide Title/Artist”.

  3. Load a track and try using the physical ACAPELLA or INSTRUMENTAL buttons.

  4. Notice that the buttons no longer function as expected.

  5. Disable “Hide Title/Artist”.

  6. The buttons work normally again.

Expected Behavior:

The ACAPELLA and INSTRUMENTAL STEM FX buttons should function normally regardless of whether “Hide Title/Artist” is enabled.

Actual Behavior:

Enabling “Hide Title/Artist” causes both physical STEM FX buttons to stop functioning.

Workaround:

Disable “Hide Title/Artist” in Settings → Device.

Additional Information:

This appears to be an unintended interaction between a display/privacy setting and the hardware STEM FX controls. These features should operate independently.

Thanks @bazookon - We will take a look!
