Display media titles in the media player card, with Android Debug Bridge

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for a solution to a small problem concerning the information displayed in the media player card for my Nvidia Shield (Android TV).

I installed the “Android Debug Bridge” integration to make it easier to control apps and content on my Nvidia Shield than with the native integration.
It works pretty well: the apps used are recognized, screenshots display well, and controls work.

However, I’d also like to display the title of the content currently playing (the name of the program on myCANAL, the name of the video on YT, the name of the series on Netflix …).
Is it possible to do this with ADB? Or is there a workaround?

The entity detected “natively” (i.e. without ADB’s help) manages to display the video currently playing on Youtube, for example. But it doesn’t work on other apps, as far as I know.
