If you had the Spotify app then it used to work like that earlier too.

I don't know if this is a new feature but before when I clicked the home button music would stop.

What happened to Android tv being a Google home speaker group option.

I've had a TCL android TV for the last year & it has always done this.

Nice! The Spotify app would be fine on the mi box, but it refuses to play some podcasts for some reason. So this might come in handy

I have a Philips android TV and it's always done this (although I've only had it for a month)

On a side note, does anyone know if there's a way to stop the next track album covers showing? On a normal chromecast you just see one album cover when you're listening to music and it's much cleaner

Is there a whole new Android TV interface? I have a Sony Bravia with Android TV built in but it doesn't look like that.

Not working on my 2017 Shield, tried Plex and Spotify and the apps only cast in fullscreen mode.

Dang, I still don't even have the audio groups on my NVIDIA Shields and I'm opted into the beta branch for Chromecast.

YouTube Music does this as well.

Welcome to: we're getting rid of Google Play Music and have no YTM app for Android TV. And bonus! You have to pay to cast
