Locking Playbar into music mode?.

Hello all, is there any way to lock the Playbar into music mode?.

When I am streaming my own music or internet radio and my lad is on his XboxOne sometimes when he changes games the Playbar switches back to TV mode on it's own?.

Had a look around the app and can't see any auto-switching options?.

Over the moon with the Playbar, bought it for tv and music and it's exceeded all expectations!.

        Just an update, in the end I found the best option was to leave Autoplay ON and turn off the Xbox Audio Output in it's menus.

        For some reason the Playbar would not "stick" to TV when TV was turned off overnight and this caused problems.
