I am experiencing an issue with the auto-play timer in the Apple TV app. Essentially, the timer still keeps running in the background even when skipping to next episode before it ends. I haven’t found any other posts reporting this. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start playing a TV show with multiple episodes 2. At the end of the episode, make sure you see the 15-second countdown timer 3. Skip to the next episode early by clicking on it 4. The timer will continue running in the background, and will skip **another** episode once it’s done. If you were viewing episode 1, you will now be viewing episode 3 instead of episode 2 like intended. I’ve been observing this behavior for a couple months now, lazily hoping someone else might report the issue, but it still happens in the current version. Server Version#: 1.32.2.7100 Player Version#: 8.21 (6341) tvOS Version#: 16.5 (20L563) ---

Updated the app just now to 8.22 (6477) and it seems to be fixed. ---

Update once again: the bug just happened again in the new version. Unfortunately, I can’t determine under what conditions it reliably triggers. ---
