Just noticed that Prime Video is using its own player when casting from mobile app to Google TV:

I checked a few free streaming apps like Tubi and FilmRise. They use native Google TV player which is shown below:

Can anyone check for hotstar, zee5 etc?

Also, I noticed that YouTube does not show any player controls on TV when casting.
