Question is, is it the home pod’s connection to the ATV, a bug in the Spotify ATV app, or a bug with the ATV itself.
This is what I would check:
If it looks like Spotify’s app is the problem, then you’ll need to file a bug report with them. If it looks like the AppleTV is pausing any music to the home pod, I would factory reset the HomePod by holding down on the top button for 10 seconds. If it looks the like AppleTV is pausing any music to any audio source, I would restart and or factory reset the AppleTV.
I have spent the day in chat with Spotify, it appears uninstalling the app, shutting down my entire network, & my Apple TV, then reinstalling the app might just have worked. Now to see if it still works once I reconnect my 4x4 matrix.
7 hours with chat, and two factory resets on the Apple TV and I am no closer to getting it to work.
Bummer. Does it play on the Apple TV thru TV speakers?
Same thing happens through the TV. Spent another 3 hours in chat again today. Supposedly they are going to email me for further support.
That’s good, at least you now know it’s the app or the Apple TV OS. The HomePods are good.
Have you tried playing Apple Music, Pandora, Prime Music, etc? Does the same thing happen? With another music app? If not, I’d chalky this up to a Spotify bug, and I’d ask them how to file a bug report.
Yeah, I played Apple Music for hours with no issue. Apparently Spotify knows this is an issue (it is a known issue on Android), but only one of the 20+ different reps I spoke with yesterday said this and then today one said it absolutely was not.
