BUG: HomePod connected to ATV as airplay speaker will not play radio station

This is so weird, it has to be a bug.


I airplay movies from my ATV to my HomePods using them as speakers.

This is where the weird bug begins

Until I restart the ATV, the HomePods cannot play my radio stations:

"Hmmm... I cannot create a station based on that..."


As soon as I restart the ATV, (the airplay link is broken, I assume) and the HomePod will again play my radio station.


Anybody else experiencing this behaviour?


HomePod, 13

Either way you would unlink the HomePod from the ATV.

the bug is that the HomePod does not reset itself after the ATV is turned off.

The proof? When I start the ATV to watch a new movie, the ATV will airplay to the Homepods without any action on my end.

This will go on until I restart the ATV

regards
