Now Playing is no longer working on MacOS 15.4

Describe the bug
Since the update to macOS 15.4 (Beta), "Now Playing" no longer works on the BTT. Before the update, Spotify displayed the album cover as well as "Play/Pause," etc. The issue occurs with both Spotify and Apple Music. In the Mac's Control Center, everything is displayed correctly – but not on the Touch Bar.

I haven't changed any configurations in BTT. The other functions on the Touch Bar work, and there are no crashes or similar issues.
I have already installed the latest version of "GoldenChaos-BTT," but the problem persists.

Have other people noticed this issue as well?
Thanks for your support.
Best regards
