Can't play music searched up in my library

I have Apple TV Gen 4.

I search for an artist in my music library. Then when I try to play the result nothing happens. I have to scroll through my entire library and manually find the song I want to play. Frustrating since I have about 4500 songs.


Suggestions?

Apple TV (4th generation)

So, today I updated my Apple TV 4 to tvOS 9.2. I thought that now it this problem should be solved. I did a search in my music collection. The song shows up, but I Still Can't Play It!! I mean, this is really a very basic feature that you take for granted will work!? If I scroll down all my music and find the song there, it'll work, but it is so time consuming.


I wonder if someone is working on this or what?

I just wanted to chime in and say I have the same problem. I subscribe to iTunes Match and all my music shows up on my Apple TV (Gen 4). I can manually navigate to any song in my library and play it. But if I use the Search function to find it and play it, it doesn't play. Completely bizarre.


I even went to the trouble of completely reseting my Apple TV to factory default and reconfiguring the whole thing. Didn't help.


It's hard for me to believe that this is not a widespread issue. Please speak up if you know some way to resolve it.


Thanks.
