I finally got Youtbe playlist working with Home Assistant
It works for Youtube Music and Videos, to a TV using chromecast
Create a new script and add:
**service**: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_tv
data:
media_content_id: ' { "app_name": "youtube", "playlist_id": "PLSlWCUnZ5deDcEWu50m_I-iCgIfm0jqv9", "media_id": "CoHD4weW5NI" }'
media_content_type: cast
I hope it can help anyone out there having similar task/issue.
how did you get the playlist and media ids?
I am trying to do something similar, but with autogenerated playlist and all I have is just informations about now playing track 
EDIT: tried with regular playlists with the same result 
Where are you getting your playlist from?
Web browser or mobile phone app?
Let’s use this youtube channel playlist:
btw, Andy’s channel is Awesome!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArBy7uqSJkY&list=PLckvFmDGYhtu7rVvxbYBgHXCytCnoc8u2
Where the media_id is :
ArBy7uqSJkY
and the playlist_id is:
PLckvFmDGYhtu7rVvxbYBgHXCytCnoc8u2
You can copy and paste your link here and we can have a look if you still not find the info.
Cheers
oh! my bad! I was starting the stream from mobile app, then casting it to speaker and then looking for the data in developer options at home assistant’s dashboard while the id was totally easily to find in the URL [if only I was trying it from web browser ;)]
thanks!
Hi thor_c
Can I bind the script here to a button? For example, when I click that button, can it ask me for a youtube link? or youtube ID . If so, can you describe it?
