The problem is that Youtube is now using a page title of "Youtube" and I'm seeing this with older Firefox versions as well, so you probably caught this just as it was rolling out.

So I can't say whether this is a genuine bug of ours that Youtube is now hitting, or plainly Youtube's fault, but in any case it doesn't look like a recent regression on our side.

Confirmed that Chrome Mobile gets a nice rich notification thingy... maybe they're using https://wicg.github.io/mediasession/?

Karl, can you take a look please?

Yes, YouTube is using the Media Session API.

Thanks Mounir. So this is not really a Tech Evangelism bug, we just need to implement this API.

(I guess we'll just leave it here since it's blocking the parent bug)

This seems to be fixed now (in Fennec, at least).
