Here are both files.
First, I started the stream from a widget and there is no name in the bottom left corner in the Video OSD. Secondly, I started the stream from the DAZN directory on the main menu and there is the name in the bottom left corner in the Video OSD.

https://paste.kodi.tv/ohuzosonad.kodi

Are the two streams supposed to be identical i.e. the same exact video when played?

I am not seeing any issues on the skin side but the add-on seems to be playing differently depending on how it is launched.

The first one is:

Code:

plugin://plugin.video.dazn/?id=1m70pkayf20yz1kugfz74fl02n&verify_age=False&params=5a7tly9x4v3ibdo88nypcjuqy&mode=play&title=Madagaskar+-+Tunesien+%28Highlights%29

Then the second one is:

Code:

plugin://plugin.video.dazn/?id=1mdoxl7767i451m5vopn791m7u&verify_age=False&params=5a7tly9x4v3ibdo88nypcjuqy&mode=play&title=Madagaskar+-+Tunesien

They have different id= alphanumeric characters and the first stream is appended with +%28Highlights%29

I have no knowledge of inputstream or how video add-ons work so the id= could be randomly generated but the appended part seems like it should not be there. The skin doesn't provide that info the add-on does.

Have you asked in the DAZN thread?

Do you know if the same thing happens when playing from a Widget in another skin?     

Sorry, the id is the same. I did not play the same file twice, it was a different one. Then, I checked the id myself and the id is identical both ways.
I've tried Embuary (Leia) and there is exactly the same behavior. The file name is missing when starting from the widget. When I start from the addon directly, it is there.
I think it is not an addon issue, because Zattoo widgets have the exact same behavior, so it is not just the DAZN addon. Maybe it is an general issue in Kodi when you have direct internet streams from addons as widgets. I can not explain it otherwise.
On the other side, Sky Go has not this problem.
