     Apple Updates tvOS and HomePod Software to 15.5.1 to Address Music Bug

   Josh Centers

   Shortly after releasing tvOS 15.5 and HomePod Software 15.5 (see
   '[1]Apple Releases iOS 15.5, iPadOS 15.5, macOS 12.4, watchOS 8.6, tvOS
   15.5, and HomePod Software 15.5,' 16 May 2022), Apple has released
   [2]tvOS 15.5.1 and [3]HomePod Software 15.5.1 to fix a bug where music
   could 'stop playing after a short time.' Neither update includes any
   security fixes.

   Both updates should install automatically, but if you're experiencing
   this issue and want to update immediately, here's how:
     * Apple TV HD and later: Open Settings and go to System > Software
       Updates > Update Software.
     * HomePods: Open the Home app in iOS or iPadOS, tap the Home icon in
       the upper-left corner, scroll down and tap Home Settings, and then
       Software Update.
