"atvremote -s <IP> previous" won't go back to the previous page within an app

[zhiningq]

Describe the bug

I wonder if "previous" button works as the "<" button on the actual apple tv remote, if so i think it has a bug while within an app - it won't go back to previous page.

Error log

<place log here>

How to reproduce the bug?

To reproduce: hover over any app, send "atvremote -s previous" wont return back to the first app on home page

What is expected behavior?

Expect first app icon being focused with "previous" command sent

Operating System

macOS

Python

3.12

pyatv

atvremote 0.14.5

Device

Model/SW: Apple TV 4K (gen 3), tvOS 17.5.1 build 21L580

Additional context

N/A

[postlund]

previous is a media command (like "previous song"), so I wouldn't expect that to work. Maybe left if it is navigation to the left you mean?

Or maybe menu is what you want.

What:
pytv 0.16.0 (docker) on a arm,
appletv 4k tvOS: 18.1 22j580
When I send the previous command I assume it's the same button as the physical remote with the < logo, so should go to the previous menu if I'm already within a sub menu.... I get the included stacktrace

atvremote -s 10.0.0.172 previous --debug
