Chromecast with Google TV Chromecast Audio Display Dev Issues

I have a friend who is developing a media player which has the ability to cast to other devices, including Chromecast.

I have found during the course of testing that casting to one TV has almost nothing on the display other than the song title - no art, no graphic, nothing, just the title. It plays fine, but just looks a bit meh.

Surprisingly, the same product casts to another TV and shows the artist name, the song title, the album name and also the album artwork.

Why is one showing this and not the other?

I should also add that other applications (such as Poweramp, and others) show exactly the same thing when casting to both devices - album, album artwork, title, artist, everything, so clearly something is not right in what he is doing. Can anyone suggest a reason?
