Apple Music won’t shuffle on my Apple TV box

My apple music shuffles everywhere else from my phone to any device. But the Apple TV music icon just repeats the same song over and over

WTF!

Hello Andy-1464,


If the shuffle option for Music on Apple TV is not working, restarting and making sure tvOS is up to date can help.


"Restart Apple TV

Do any of the following:

  • Press and hold both the Back  (Siri Remote 2nd generation or later) or  (Siri Remote 1st generation) and TV   buttons on the Siri Remote until the Apple TV status light blinks rapidly.
  • Disconnect Apple TV from the power outlet, wait five seconds, then reconnect it.
  • Open Settings  on Apple TV, go to System and select Restart.

"Update your Apple TV automatically

You can set your Apple TV to automatically install new updates when they're available. Go to Settings > System > Software Updates and turn on Automatically Update.


Update your Apple TV manually

  1. Go to Settings > System > Software Updates and select Update Software.
  2. If there's an update, select Download and Install. 
  3. Wait for your Apple TV to download the update. Keep your Apple TV connected and plugged in to power until the update is complete.

After the update downloads, your Apple TV will restart, prepare the update, then install it. When the update is complete, your Apple TV will automatically restart again."
