Remote app no longer controls volume after iOS 17 update (alien.top)

Hey folks, my Apple TV setup was perfect, and then I updated my phone to iOS 17.1. Now I can no longer change the volume from the remote app. Whenever I press the volume buttons, my phone volume changes, not the Apple TV CEC volume.

The physical Apple TV remote can change the volume perfectly. The remote app has a new “mute” button which also works fine. Finally, if something is playing on Apple TV, I can select it in my control center, and change the TV volume from there (which works oddly??).

But the physical volume buttons on my phone no longer change the TV volume inside the remote app. They always change the volume of my phone.

Anyone else experience this? Any fix? I’m desperate.

Press and hold the TV/Control Center button and the Volume Down button at the same time.

once you get that notification on your tv that you lost connection to the remote press any connection to reestablish the connection and it should work happens to me occasionally

Thanks, but are you talking about the app or the physical remote. My issue is 100% in the remote app on my iPhone. The remote works fine.
