Google Cast, works... for a while, Nest hub forgets rooms?

Hello!

I’m trying to make myself some room views to be avalible on my nest hub by voice activation.
I’ve got the code up and running and preparing for voice support but im stuck with this problem that
after a while… my nest hub/home assistant seems to forget my rooms exist untill I reboot my nest hub then all is fine an dandy. Not a workable solution though.

What am I missing??

Also my nest hub is currently setup to show photos when not in use, which seems to disable my cast and block further casts. Will try disabling that ofc.

Edit:
Doing a media_player.turn_off pulls my hub out of the “unable to find view with path…” and
my casting works again.
Question: Is this a must?

My input_select

google_cast_rooms:
  name: Google Cast Rooms
  options:
    - "vardagsrum" #livingroom
    - "kok"        #kitchen
  initial: "kok"
  icon: mdi:home
