I'm having trouble using the remote app for the Apple TV.

I can't get playlists for TV Shows or movies to work. If I tap on a show in the playlist, it switches to the Up Next screen. Then, nothing happens. It just jumps back to the playlist without actually playing anything. Obviously, shuffle isn't working any better. It's pretty much been doing this since the remote app 3.0 came out. The weird thing is that I can run the same playlist from within the remote app, connected to iTunes not the ATV, and AirPlay it to the ATV with no trouble at all.

Anywho, I thought I'd see if anyone had found a fix yet, or if this was just a known thing. I don't mind it too much. I occasionally like having smart playlists that randomly pick shows, and the iTunes workaround is just a bit of a pain.

Any help would be appreciated.
