Apple TV 4K animated background black when streaming from MacBook Pro after update

After updating my MacBook Pro (May '26 — Apple M5 Max Chip) to OS Golden Gate and my Apple TV 4K to tvOS 27.0, the animated background turns black when using media sharing to stream music from my Apple Music library to my Apple TV. All I see is the album artwork with the song title and artist info centered on a black screen.

The color-animated background worked fine before the upgrade. Interestingly, I notice that the animated background runs (though it looks different with the update) when streaming music from my purchased library directly through the Music app on my Apple TV. Is there a new setting I need to adjust to get the animated color background to appear during media sharing, or is this a bug?
