How do I set up TVPlayer App on my Apple TV with Home

I use the TVPlayer App but it won't play through my HomePod on my Apple TV yet the other Apps like Netflix, Now TV, Amazon Plus Video etc and other media apps does; Why? And is there a workaround I can use?

Is there a way to make my Apple TV show up in the Home app like the HomePod? I used to be able to have my Apple TV show up in the Home app, but now it seems I’m unable to add it. Was this removed or am I just not finding where to add it?

simultaneously Playing Music on Homepod, TV audio on Apple TV. I have an Apple TV 4k and Homepod 2 and am unable to stream music to the Homepod while simultaneously watching something on the apple TV. I'd like my music to come through the Homepod and the Apple TV audio to go through the TV speakers. Steps to replicate issue Stream something on Apple TV 4k (I used Youtube TV app). Audio plays through default TV speakers Open Apple Music on iPhone and select music to play. Tap to play. Apple Music will first attempt to take over Apple TV and play there which stops TV stream Attempting to only select Homepod and deselect Apple TV on phone does not work. Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated. If it helps, I'll never need to play the apple TV through the Homepod.

Apple TV 4k HomePod mini, LG TV, Disney+ questions Hi All, Sorry this question has a few parts and any help is highly appreciated. I am in Europe and I just bought the Apple TV 4K, 2x Home Pod Minis and paired with a LG OLED55E9PLA 4K TV. I have Disney+ subscription and I can watch my shows and movies for free on my iPad but when I use the Apple TV, the for the same shows, it is telling me I must pay for rental. Is this normal? I must pay for Apple TV subscription now in addition to Disney+? I have Netflix subscription and I can watch it on my iPad but when I try to AirPlay it to my TV, first it will not work with AppleTV and it cannot play on the LG TV via AirPlay because the TV wants to use it's own Netflix App. The problem is when I do this, I cannot use the 2x HomePod Minis (because they require AppleTV) and I end up with the TV speakers on the back of the TV and they sound like crap. I don't plan to buy a sound bar. Any work around where I can use the HomePod Minis as my default speakers? When I use AirPlay, I have to select the HomeKit Apple TV & TV and not select the HomeKit HomePod Minis and then once the video is playing then I must go to AppleTV users and then select HomePods. Is this correct? Thanks for any feedback!
