The last few days, I will be playing music that Siri says is a station for me, and after a while it stops playing.
This is something new. I used to be able to touch it to stop music when I go to bed, and touch it to start it the next day and it would never stop on its own.
How do I trace down what is causing this problem?
HomePod
Last night I tried running music on my HomePod from my iMac. I told my Mac's Siri to play music that I like. It was set up to play on my HomePod and played. My Mac's Music app showed it playing. I opened the Home app on my phone and it was showing that song as well. After a couple of hours, I noticed the music had stopped. I went to my bedroom and saw the HomePod was dark. I went back to my Mac and it was stuck at the start of a song, my phone was stuck at the end of a song. Pressing "=" didn't do anything. I quit and restarted Music and it worked again.
16.4.1 seems to have solved the random stopping on my system.
EVERY time Apple updates the OS, something like this happens. Pure carelessness.
I discovered that my last HomePod update did not complete. I turned off my HomePod and after I turned it on, everything started working correctly again.
I have the same issue, I even tried to air play my computers itunes to the homepods and music stops
My problems have disappeared after the latest updates to the OS and the Home app architecture. My HomePod Minis are using 16.5.
