How to play local MP3 using my 'media_player.mpd' entity? Nothing works even following the official documentation

Configuration
1

Setup:
HassOS on Raspberry Pi 4

I installed MPD (https://github.com/Poeschl/Hassio-Addons/tree/master/mpd to play TTS from the 3.5mm Pi jack and everything work like a charm.

Now I would like to play some MP3 that I put into ‘/media’ folder via samba.
I can see these files if I go to Media Browser on the sidebar menu, but when I try to play them using the service in Developer Tools I got always errors.
On dev tools I set:

service: media_player.play_media
entity: media_player.mpd

then in the data field, on media_content_id I tried any combination of paths I got searching on internet and on this page https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/media_source/#playing-media-from-a-media-source but nothing works.

It’s weird that a basic and integrated feature like the Media Player lacks enough documentation on how to integrate it with automations, etc.
If anyone had success on this can share any information to achieve the result? :slight_smile:

Not sure you still searching for the answer, this works for me:

Also type “music” worked for me

data:
  media_content_type: audio
  media_content_id: media-source://media_source/local/audio.mp3
target:
  entity_id:
    - media_player.music_player_daemon
action: media_player.play_media
