Minecraft item frame not outputting redstone signal when item turned

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-redstone

I have an item frame on a block of emerald. In the item frame there is an anvil. I'm using vanilla Minecraft 1.9. When I turn the item in the item frame no signal comes out of the comparator. I have also placed a comparator behind the block. No difference.

As you can see the piston never extended. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

You have to put the comparator behind the block with the itemframe on it: enter image description here enter image description here
