Apple TV Computers app bug

I’m running the Computers app on a 3rd gen Apple TV running tvOS 16.2.

When shuffling my library and wanting to scroll through songs after pressing the menu button it will skip each second song.

Known issue?

TVOS 16 won't allow me to click on the "even numbered" songs in my playlists! After upgrading to TVOS 16.0, when playing shared music from my iMac's playlists on my 2nd gen Apple TV 4K (using the "Computers" app, and selecting "Music"), I can no longer directly the select the "even numbered" songs in the playlists queue (i.e., the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.) on the Apple TV's screen. This happens whether shuffling the songs in the playlist, or playing them in order. I have tried quitting the app and starting again, choosing different playlists, re-starting the Apple TV, pulling the power plug for 1 minute on the Apple TV and then plugging it back in, and even resetting the Apple TV. Nothing works. The problem has persisted into TVOS 16.1. If I let the current song finish playing, it WILL advance to the next song. BUT, if I try using the Apple TV's remote to swipe to the next ("even-numbered") song on the TV screen, it skips over that song. It only acknowledges the NEXT "odd-numbered" song (i.e., the 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc.) as being "clickable." This happens swiping forward or backwards. Has anyone else had this problem with tvOS16? Any solutions? Apple support is looking into the problem, but has been stumped so far.

Unfortunately yes. It was present in tvOS 16.1 as well [1].

Please report your problem to Apple using the feedback form: Feedback - Apple TV - Apple.

More reports should bring more urgency.

It actually doesn’t matter if I’m shuffling or playing a single album. The next track will be skipped when scrolling.
