My Apple TV Remote app is not connecting to my Apple TV. It pulls up my Apple TV name and says connecting then it like restarts with a drop down menu for me to select the Apple TV I want to connect to and the process begins again. I have unplugged the Apple TV, restarted my phone, airplane mode my phone, and made sure nothing is blocking the device. Nothing has solved my issue.

I don’t have the ability to do that. The original remote for the Apple TV stopped working properly awhile ago. I have only been able to use it due to having the remote app on my phone.
