Show Season and Episode number during playback (pause screen)

Server: Ubuntu.
Client: Roku.

When I play an episode of a TV show, if I pause I see the name of the episode, but it doesn’t show which season or episode number.

E.g. I might see:
Lisa Simpson, This Isn’t Your Life

But I would like to see something like:
s22e05 - Lisa Simpson, This Isn’t Your Life

Or maybe even better, something like:
The Simpsons - s22e05 - Lisa Simpson, This Isn’t Your Life

Is there some way to enable this?

Additional question…

This is even more annoying because sometimes when I pause, or fall asleep, or shut off my tv/roku, the “Continue Watching” list on the home screen doesn’t even have where I left off. (Sometimes it does. That seems like a bug to me.) So then I have to go track down the season and episode number where I left off.

Someone else asked for this same feature last week. I’m working on it now.

Here’s a preview image:

Nice. For me what I’d personally like to see is the ability to dismiss the information as well so all you see is a paused frame.

Doesn’t that already happen if you don’t touch the remote for a few seconds when you pause it?

Yes.

Not for me with the AndroidTV client.

Oh, I can’t vouch for anything other than Roku.

Apologies, missed the note in the post. Mea culpa.
