iOS Audio App + AirPlay tvOS Metadata Issue

I have an audio app that can play audio on an AirPlay device.

On non-Apple TV devices, the AirPlay app (on Roku, Samsung, etc.) shows the now playing metadata: title, artist, and album art.

However, on tvOS 18.1, no metadata is shown. The Apple TV device plays the audio, but there is no now playing information shown, nor any other indicators.

Other media apps show the "Now Playing" controls on the upper right of the tvOS home screen.

Can someone point me in the direction of how to solve this issue? I think I am missing something somewhere in regards to the tvOS metadata implementation.
