V30: Oreo, Always On Display and Media Controls - LG V30 Questions & Answers

After the Oreo update of my Open Market US998, most of the media apps I use stopped working with the controls on the AOD.
Some still work, namely LG's Music, Amazon Prime Music and Smart AudioBook Player of all things.
But the rest don't. Audible doesn't. Pandora doesn't. Neither do Google Play Music, iHeartRadio or ANY of the video players.
Except for one ancient player, I used to be able to control every one of them in the AOD in Nougat. But no more. And I can't figure out the why some can do it, and others can't, including Google's apps.
I did try reinstalling Audible. Didn't help. I assume the problem is with some apps explicitly supporting this feature, whereas others don't. But maybe I am missing something in the settings somewhere.
Is anybody else seeing the same thing?

What is the AOD? Audio on demand? Widget?

Poweramp works with AOD on mine. No issues at all. Can skip for wtd and back and pause and resume without any problems.

I just installed Poweramp to test it, and it works for me, too. But not Audible and the rest of those on my list.

Seems restricted to music...
All of my "Music" apps seem to work with the AOD and Floating Bar (Rocket Player, Google Play Music, Neutron, YT Music, LG Music (of course), Jet Audio). But the all-media/video players (VLC, Audible, BSPlayer, MX Player Pro) don't show controls. Maybe LG did some futzing with the code and locked out non-music players from the Floating Bar/AOD controls. If that's the case, they should have changed the banner to "Play Music to control".
BTW, my old V10 still shows controls for all these player music or video.
Any instructions on how to notify LG of this "error"?

P.S> Is AOD an Android Oreo or an LG addition? I seem to remember these apps working just fine when I first got my phone with 7.1 (Nougat).

AOD was also on V30 Nougat.
You can downgrade to Nougat to check, if you wish.
