good thinking, allthough you reopened a 2 month old topic.
i did send a pm.
Thatās true but for some reason they have it that way in the examples on the media player on their github:
It probably should be changed.
Yeah, Iāve never looked at the examples. The minus sign should just be removed, the carrot is needed for the multi line business. Maybe you can put the minus sign beforeā¦ all the documenation for YAML says thatās wrong though outside of HA. 
Ah. I knew I wasnāt crazy. Thanks finity!
I have things setup however when I try and send Alexa a TTS command Alexa says that text to speech can only be called by the notify dot alexa media service. Is there something I missed in the setup?
no its just what it says. to use tts you need to use a service.
OK. Why does it have the TTS test that gets created automatically as a tile if it wonāt work? Is that just something that canāt be controlled? It seems like a message coming from Amazon, so if I go into HA and create a service not sure that would be any different but will try and figure it out.
Is that just something that canāt be controlled?
indeed, that gets created automatically
It seems like a message coming from Amazon
but it isnt. its a message that HA sends to amazon
so if I go into HA and create a service not sure that would be any different
it will because then you do what the message tells you.
how else would amazon know about: notify dot alexa media service (notify.alexa_media_service)?
on amazon there is no such thing.
Thanks, thought I followed all the instructions but must have missed something.
does anyone know how to add pauses in the middle of these responses?
I would like to add my full YouTube Playlist on HA and Alexa - For not only TTS but [almost] full control of devices/entities using voice.
