Persistent background music on Apple TV

whenever I turn on my Apple TV+, I get this really strong background music playing and it plays over all my trailers and the films and the TV programmes. I just can’t stop it. I don’t want to know how I can stop it otherwise it’s pointless me watching Apple TV.

Unable to stop Apple Music app from auto-playing random songs on Apple TV When I listen to an album in the Music app on my Apple TV set top box, and the album ends, the app will immediately start playing some random song from some random album. I find that very jarring. How do I prevent it from doing that? I want it to just stop at the end of the album. I looked in Settings>Apps>Music, but don't see anything to control this behavior.

How do I stop shows that are not on my watchlist from autoplaying on Apple TV+? My Apple TV+ auto plays a random irrelevant irritating show (recently buccaneers😡) that’s NOT even in my playlist, at the end of the last episode of a series I was watching!!! How do I stop this from happening? Or even better, how do I delete shows like that from my Apple TV+?!!!

Turn Off Apple TV ScreenSaver During Music Playback I use the Apple TV to stream music from the iTunes library on my computer to my tv/stereo system. I have the screensaver set up NOT to activate during playback, and it used to work fine (i.e. the album cover for whatever song was playing would stay on). Ever since the last update a few weeks back, the screensaver activates even though music is still playing. (And, later, goes into sleep mode.) It seems not to recognize the Apple TV as being in use when it's streaming music (as opposed to when I'm using it to watch streaming video from an App). Any way to fix this? I've tried rebooting, but no luck.

Double-click the TV button on the Siri Remote, to get to the App Switcher. Close all apps by swiping up each app screen in the App Switcher. Does this music stop or remain?
