Quick Note: Use caution if you are upgrading your Apple TV to tvOS 11 and use an iTunes server

I just upgraded my Apple TV 4th generation to tvOS 11.  The primary use for my Apple TV is to watch content on an admittedly old iTunes server.

I have TV playlists in my iTunes server.  After the upgrade, my iTunes server TV show playlists:

  • Are out of order - no longer in order by season or even by episode.
  • No longer show status - what episodes I have watched.  
These are critical features for using my Apple TV and having it be useful.  It is no longer so useful.

I have tried some iTunes reconfigurations of playlists, so far, to no avail...
