How to resume status/playlist from media player

Configuration
1

Hi, I am new to home assistant and trying to use a automation for my doorbell.

My doorbell is just a zigbee button/switch and my squeezebox is playing a “ding dong” sound when the button is pressed. Its working fine, but when i am already listening to some music i want to resume it after the “ding dong”. Can anybody help me to figure out how to do this?

This is my automation at the moment:

No one any idea?

If you do some (exhaustive) searching around, you will notice that this issue is not new, and there are a number of fixes that remain often generically un-usable or extremely complicated to implement (especially if - like me, you are not quite yet a HAS buff!!).

I STRONGLY suggest - (as I did) - that you consider posting a note in the Home Assistant feature request area of the forum. Hopefully with enough people requesting assistance with this 8ssue - some kind expert will MAKE A global SOLUTION!

Let’s hope so!

If anyone else has found something that works… PLEASE MAKE A FUSS ABOUT IT!!!
