Media Player automation only works once

Configuration
1

I have set up an Aqara button / ZHA automation that with a single press will play a radio station for 30 seconds then stop (see yaml below) - and it works as expected. But if after a few minutes of silence I press the button once again, nothing happens - unless I go back in and change the radio station within the automation first. I tried changing the final service: media_player.media_stop to service: media_player.media_pause but that didn’t help.

Any ideas as to where I am going wrong?

TIA

metadata and everything under it should be under data. I.e. indent it all by 2.

Thanks @petro ; I changed the indentation, but that didn’t fix it. I thought that it might be a case of the media player not being “released” somehow, and then saw that I was starting the music through Play media on a media player but ending it on a Call Service. By putting the start and end on Call Service I am now able to re-start the music (for 30 seconds) more than once. Great news.

However, whilst Play Media allows you to specify what music to play, using Call Service doesn’t; would there be a syntax where I can set this?

Also, how might I set the volume level?

TIA

This is my current yaml…
