Controller fails to display non-String text metadata #2853

Key android.media.metadata.TITLE expected String but value was a android.text.SpannableStringBuilder.  The default value <null> was returned.

Attempt to cast generated internal exception: (Ask Gemini)
java.lang.ClassCastException: android.text.SpannableStringBuilder cannot be cast to java.lang.String
