Apple Playlists and Essentials won't play on Apple TV

I cannot get Apple Playlists or Apple Essential Playlists to load on my Apple TV. They work fine on my phone and computer, and Albums load and play without any problem. My software is up to date. I'm signed in to the correct Apple ID and I've restarted. Network signal is fine also. Anyone else?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

Sometimes a playlist will play but most times not. Same with Essentials. Albums always play. One tip I picked up somewhere in this forum is that if you can get the playlist to load (I can't even achieve load. The gear just spins on a white screen), rather than choosing a song to play use the play icon for the album or playlist at the top. The issue is inconsistent. Sometimes it works, others not. I have upgraded software, will restart the box etc. Doesn't make a difference. What is odd to me is that I can choose an album to play with no issue. I don't think I helped much.
