What was the Problem?

I was testing casting from the Android application to my television, and noticed that the file name was being displayed instead of the chapter name. In addition, no book title was displayed, although this is minor since I'm seeing the book cover.

The full file name is 18 - The Walls Have Ears - Chapter 14 British Intelligence, POWs and War Crimes Trials.m4b

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Start casting from the Android app.

What was Expected?

I was expected the actual chapter name as configured in ABS to be displayed (e.g. British Intelligence, POWs and War Crimes Trials)

Phone Model

Google Pixel 9 Pro

Phone OS

Android 15

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.9.77

Installation Source

Google Play Store

Additional Notes

Issue also appears for the Web App per https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/3821
