Emms is distributed via ELPA. I would warmly recommend installing it via
"M-x list-packages"

We try to keep the Savannah git repo clean, but that is where
development happens. If you use Emms from there you will occasionally
have stuff broken (unless you pull only from the latest tag.) If you
aren't doing Emms development, I would recommend installing and updating
Emms as an ELPA package instead.

All that said, this shouldn't be where your issue is. A playing timer
should appear if your setup is as simple as:

"(emms-all)
(emms-default-players)"

`emms-standard' is obsolete (has been marked as obsolete since Emms
4.1), and in any case, calling `emms-all' afterward makes it moot.

This is everything you need in order for Emms to display a timer. If it
doesn't work at this point, we need to do more debugging.

`emms-all' calls (require 'emms-playing-time), so no need for this either.

...and definitely no need to call it again.

Please try the above simple, two-line setup on an ELPA install, and tell
us if it works, and we'll go from there.
