After recent update to Apple TV sleep mode turns off while listening to music

Oct 2019.

My Apple TV just did a software update in the last couple days.


I noticed that if I was listening to a music app, my Apple TV would turn off (sleep technically). I'd turn it back on and half an hour later it would turn off.


Took me a while to figure out what was happening. I have the "Sleep After" set to 30 minutes. Previously it recognized the music apps and didn't turn off, but after this latest update it turns off.


I have fixed it simply by setting the "Sleep After" (Settings>General>Sleep After) to "never" but fixing it so it recognized the music app and doesn't turn off, as previous, would be preferred.


Thank you,

ernie

Not sure if this is a feature change to which app developers have to adapt/make provisions, or if this a bug that everyone missed.
