That is unfortunately, Spotify not sending the right artist and title data to the MPRIS services (the common standard for linux multimedia info) when using Spotify Connect.
With normal playback:
With Spotify Connect (playing on remote device):
Spotify support for MPRIS is quite abandoned and broken for some years (https://community.spotify.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=mpris) since they don't have linux environments as a priority, and other features like volume or song position don't work for spotify, and lately neither album covers.
Thank you for such a prompt and thorough answer!
The information is shown correctly when I play music on my laptop using Spotify app, but when I redirect the audio output using Spotify Connect the track information becomes instantly unreadable. Redirecting back to the laptop makes it right again.
Using Spotify Connect means that in the Spotify app I ask to redirect the output to my phone. The app continues to show the track and its progress as before but doesn't play the audio on the laptop.
