Mediaplayer hangs in combination with HomePod mini

[mslsystems]

The problem

Hello community,

i'm having a problem while playing an audio stream on my Homepod mini. I added the device with the apple_tv integration which was working fine.

When i am starting an playback with an online audio stream on my homepod, the automation hangs at this step. It never finishes maybe because of waitining to finish the playback. This happens when using the service "media_player.play_media" while an automation or a script. If i stop the playback manually (e.g. from Lovelace) it finishes the automation.

Is there a chance to change this behavior?
