Format your code properly. Read the big blue box on the top of the page…

as per @j.assuncao’s comments, format your code please.
then have a look at https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player/#service-media_playerplay_media
It’ll tell you what you need to provide. Here you appear to be missing the URL of the mp3 file you want to play…

the format is wrong in this section according to your errror. As the other 2 guys said, you should paste your code with the correct format here by using the </> button in the text editor.

Thanks for the feedback. I formated the YAML in the original post above. Please refer and let me know if any issues. I am still getting the same error.

I used the automation editor and i am getting the same error. Here is the YAML that the automation editor generated.

- action:
  - data:
      entity_id: media_player.living_room_speaker
      media_content_id: http://192.168.1.26:8123/music/front_door.mp3
      media_content_type: music
    service: media_player.media_play
  alias: Front door motion detected
  condition: []
  id: '1516927161978'
  trigger:
  - entity_id: sensor.front_door_motion_detected
    from: 'false'
    platform: state
    to: 'true'

Nevermind…figured out the issue. I was using the service “media_play” instead of “play_media” :persevere::persevere::sob::sob::sob::rage::rage::triumph::triumph:

Hey. I did not understand. where am i making a mistake. This is written in my script. but the music does not play. What do I need to do for online broadcasting radio on google nest hub?

'1590793764379':
  alias: Радио
  sequence:
  - data:
      media entity_id: media_player.nest
      media_content_id: https://nashe1.hostingradio.ru/nashe-256

      service: media_player.play
    entity_id: media_player.nest

That should not be here… You can’t have a service as part of the data of another service
