Apple remote app not working after Catalina update

After Catalina update, the remote app (iPhone and iPad) is not working properly. I can still see and connect to my music library (running on the new music app) and search it. However I cannot play, or in general control, music using the remote app. When I click on a song, nothing happens. Likewise, if I start playing on my iMac, the remote app does not show anything playing although I'm actually streaming to my airplay receiver and sound is perfect. Before the update (running OS Mojave), I never experienced such issue. Thanks for your help!

The iOS remote has got to be the most used / valuable app on my iPad and iPad. It has worked reasonably well for years, but after updating to Catalina it has stopped working, it only functions as you describe - able to see the library and the music, but unable to see what is playing or control the iMac in any way. I have gone through the Home Share settings on both devices, reauthorized the computer in iTunes, etc.... no success.
