After 14.2 update, Bluetooth speaker does not auto connect when I power on my apple tv Hi, I just updated my Apple TV to the latest software. I use my Apple TV with a computer monitor (that does not play audio) and a JBL Bluetooth speaker that is always plugged in. Before I updated, my speaker would automatically connect to my tv when I powered on. After the update, I have to connect it every time I turn the TV on. I’ve already tried setting my IP to manual. I have also reset and reconnected both the speaker and Apple TV and that did not work. I have also tried connecting it more quickly by holding the home button and looking at airplay devices, but because it is not initially connected my JBL does not display as an option. Is there anything else I can do to try helping this issue? Fixing the settings every time I turn on my tv is super frustrating, I would like to get it back to how it was before the update.

You have to put the speaker (or any bluetooth accessory) in pairing mode first, to be discoverable. See your speaker manual on how to do that.
