Still encountering issue, found workaround
On tvOS 13.4, I still encountered this issue, only on live streams.
A workaround I found was performing a AVPlayer.pause() and AVPlayer.play() immediately after AVPlayerItem.status = .readyToPlay), which funny enough, seems to do the trick. This causes the player to respond again to a remote play/pause press.
