Hello,

I'm trying to create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app on my iPhone to play a certain Apple Music playlist on my Apple TV. I already selected my Apple TV in "Set playback destination" in the Shortcuts App. It kinda works, but it always streams the playlist from my iPhone to the Apple TV and so my iPhone battery will drain after hours of playing music, and also, the music will stop playing on my Apple TV whenever my iPhone disconnects from my home wi-fi network.

What I want to do is, create a shortcut that plays a certain Apple Music playlist directly on my Apple TV, without streaming from my iPhone. I know I can already do this by telling "Hey Siri, play PLAYLIST XX on Apple TV, but it doesn't work that way when I try to create a shortcut for it that I can tap quickly in the Shortcuts widget on my iPhone.

Does anyone here know how to create such a shortcut?
