Search broken (alien.top)

If I use the search function either through the control panel or the Home Screen tile I only get results for music or podcasts.

Is anyone else experiencing this and/or know how to fix it?

Yes, very annoying. If you open Apple TV app and search there it will search videos everywhere like the main search used to. Hopefully gets fixed soon, very annoyed to have to open a separate app to search when there’s a global search hanging out doing nothing

Yeah that’s it. Do you know when it started happening for you. I recently subscribed to Apple Music so was wondering if that was the catalyst for the change in the way the search function worked.

I've been subscribed to apple music for over a year. So I am subbed if that happens to matter to them, but not a recent change. I initially noticed it when updated one of my apple tvs to 17.2 developer beta, but now all of them exhibit the same behavior despite not being on the beta. So I'm guessing it's an app update of some sort

Copy that.

I’ve noticed it happening on mine the last week at least. I immediately thought maybe it had something to do with the screen writers having a new streaming deal or something but never looked into it. Been using IMDb to look up what app is streaming what movie because the only way to search on Apple TV now is the movies app which doesn’t show you the apps it’s on
