"Now Playing" data/controls on Android?

Anyone have any experience or tips for this?  I've got KODI and SqueezeBox for Kodi running almost perfectly across many LibreELEC devices, and am now trying the same on Android.  KODI itself=perfect.  SBPlayer app for audio playback=perfect.  Kodi  for Squeezebox=almost perfect.  I can browse the Squeezebox Server content, start playback with sound, etc., but never get the "Now Playing" interaction via Kodi, so cant see the metadata nor control the player.  I've tried the usual things, ensuring both SBPlayer and SqueezeBox for KODI settings are all sharing the same MAC address, as well as ensuring the KODI system name matches the SBPlayer name (all things seemingly necessary on LibreELEC) to no avail.  Wondering if anyone has seen this work on Android and/or has any ideas or suggestions? 

One device is a Lenovo Tablet running Android 7.1.1 and the other is FireTV Stick 4K, which appears to be Android 7.1.  KODI is 18.7 on each device, 32-bit on FireTV, 64-bit on Lenovo.    

Thanks in-advance.

I use the Android app "Squeezer" and haven't had any problems with it controlling any of my devices. 

Thanks for the reply and yes, me too re:  Squeezer.  However, what I'm really trying to accomplish is to get a single unified KODI front-end experience across all my TVs; historically have used all Pi's, but experimenting with FireTV now.
