Spotify broken on Apple TV? (HDMI and Airplay simultaneously not working)

Spotify broken on Apple TV? (HDMI and Airplay simultaneously not working)

Hi,

 

I just wanted to start using Spotify on my Apple TV 4K by sending the audio-out via HDMI and Airplay simultaneously.

 

While this does work with other Apps on the ATV, it seems that Spotify is broken in that regard.

 

I tried it with both possible options to configure this:

 

A) using Spotify on ATV via Remote to group both outputs inside „Home-Settings“ (pressing and holding the Home-button for three seconds),

and

B) using the Home-App on iOS, selecting the ATV and grouping both audio-out channels there

 

The settings do show that the grouping is successfully done, radio-buttons of both audio outputs are selected. Unfortunately the sound output is stopped on the HDMI-out when doing this, and the airplay stream does work. So it shows you that the bitstream via HDMI is activated and Airplay as well, but this just isn‘t the case.

 

Is that a bug of the Spotify App on the ATV or what is going on here?
