Play/pause controls stop working

I seem to have a strange bug that’s only started in the last month or so… the play and pause function just stops working. Seems to be across all apps, and on the remote, the iPhone control centre remote, and on my TV remote over HDMI.

So it seems to be a software issue, only recently, and resolves when I restart the Apple TV… until it breaks again a few days later.

might just be me, but interested if anyone else is having this with the newest ATV…

I should say all the other buttons work on the remote…
