Apple TV Up Next ignores Paramount app paid subscription. & Up Next is not updating automatically.

Apple TV doesn't recognize that the Paramount+ app is installed with paid subscription.

• Verify that the Paramount+ app is set to be a “connected app” in Settings. Settings﹥Apps﹥TV app﹥ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴛᴠ﹥Paramount+ app﹥On
• Verify that the Apple TV app records the play history: Settings﹥Apps﹥TV app﹥Use Play History﹥On

If those are set, and it still doesn’t work, then remove the show from Up Next, then play the show from the content provider app, to let the TV app add it to Up Next again, this time with the correct link.

If it still doesn’t work, then consider clearing the play history for a fresh start: Settings﹥Apps﹥TV app﹥Clear Play History

Up Next does not update to the next episode automatically like it was doing before.

The above should solve this too.

I don’t know how “ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴛᴠ” could be missing for you, but not for me?

Unless someone else chimes in with a new idea, I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).

1. A "Connect to TV" setting is not displayed in the TV app menu.

Paramount+ should be connectable app, if installed on that Apple TV box, presuming US region. Paramount+ is not available in my region, but the “ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴛᴠ” shows below the first ~9 other options, so you may have to scroll down a bit.

Paramount+ is not listed in the Apps menu where other installed apps are listed below the Podcasts item.

Not all apps have been programmed to have their settings in that Settings﹥Apps﹥ section, as Apple would like to see. Some apps have no settings to configure.

5. I have observed that Up Next on the Main screen contains only 20 of the 39 shows in the TV app's Up Next. Why are they not the same?

If you compare here the ‘Top Shelf’ listings at the top of the Home Screen ‘desktop’, and the in-app listing, then there might be a difference in limits of items to display, not sure. My count has never been that high. The newest additions and progress always go to the front of the line, so most viewers don’t have to scroll ever.
