Bluetooth on Max2Play client blocks connection to my Max2Play LMS server

I have 2 Max2Play clients that are connected to another Max2Play „server“ which is equipped with LMS:

Clients: 1 x Raspberry 3B and 1 x Raspberry 3B+, both with HifiBerry DAC+ and a 7 inch Waveshare touchscreen display.
Server: 1 x Raspberry 3B+, with LMS installed (including Spotty for Spotify) and several internet radio stations.

This set-up works fine for several years now.
The problem came up recently when I tried to connect 1 of my clients with my JBL tuners (JBL tuner 2 and tuner XL) with bluetooth.
I have installed the bluetooth plugin onto the client, and made the changes in the Audioplayer (advanced settings) to redirect the audio stream to bluetooth (Soundcard: Bluetooth, and Command line options: -v -B).
I could make the connection with the JBL tuner without any problems, but I could not connect to the Max2Play server after a reboot.
It worked suddenly after some time, and from that moment I did not have any problems with the set-up.
The Max2Play client returned to a standby status when I turn of the JBL tuner, and it connected properly after I restart the JBL tuner.
However, it takes a lot of time for getting the connection to the server after I shut down and/or reboot the Max2play client.
This did not happen without the bluetooth feature, I always got the connection to the server within a minute.
Has anyone an idea how to fix this issue?? Should I add some extra information in the Max2Play client software??

EDIT: seems to be normal behaviour… some time (approx. 2 minutes) is required (after the bluetooth connection is made) for the finalization of the connection with the Max2Play server…….
