#FireTV/Android Debug Bridge: Only showing 'Idle' or 'Off'

After a long time I'm trying to add my FireTV stick to my HA instance again and I can't get it working to get the current playing app, even the state 'playing' is impossible to get.
The connection is fine, control are working too.

I had FireTV integrated before too, and I remember this was just working fine out of the box.
I already removed the integration, restarted everything, readded, but with no luck.

Read online you can run your own ADB server for reliability, but previously all this extra was not needed.

While playing something, the state is Idle, and this are the attributes:

hdmi_input: null
device_class: tv
friendly_name: Fire TV
supported_features: 22961
entity_picture: /api/media_player_proxy/media_player.fire_tv?token=REFACTED```

~~Also the Entity Picture only updates when HA restarts. It never updates.~~ <-- This might actually work

With the ADB command `dumpsys activity activities | grep mResumedActivity"` it does return the running app, so the ADB connection looks fine.

Anything I'm missing to get this working?
