No info about currently played track on Tidal

SUMMARY
The Plasma Browser Integration no longer shows some metadata (played track/album/artist name, and album art) about the currently played track on Tidal Web. Pausing/resuming, seeking, changing tracks work.
I think an update from the Tidal broke it. Other sites like YT shows these information.
Tried with a new Firefox profile, but the problem persist.

I also checked the DBUS with the Qt DBus viewer and I see that it also lacks the information, so I guess the problem is on the browser extension side, reading it from Tidal. (also YT works and displays these data)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up PBI.
2. Listen to a song on Tidal Web Player ( https://listen.tidal.com/ )
3. Check the Plasma Media Player Controls (1.0) applet, only says: Tidal, Tidal, Tidal

OBSERVED RESULT
No album art. The track, artist and album name are all: Tidal

EXPECTED RESULT
The correct album art is shown, with the proper track, album and artist name.

Tidal correctly reports the metadata info

I dig around this bug a bit more and found:

According to the web specs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/mediaSession
Tidal sets the metadata information correctly into the `navigator.mediaSession.metadata`.

So maybe it is a PBI bug really?
