Media_player delay about a minute

Configuration

Hello, how to fix delay on music play?

My code:

alias: Radio M-1
sequence:
  - service: media_player.play_media
    data:
      media_content_type: audio
      media_content_id: https://stream.m-1.fm/m1/aacp64
      extra:
        thumb: >-
          https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/lt/thumb/5/5c/M-1_logo.png/200px-M-1_logo.png
        title: M - 1
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.darbo_speaker
mode: single
2

Any other solution?

What delay are you talking about?
Your question leaves a lot for guessing.

4

I want to play radio on google mini. I wrote script, which I run and wait about a minute while google mini starts playing it. It sucks. Maybe my script is wrong or any have workaround on this?

5

What if you choose a different radio channel?

6

I get a long delay on some internet streams, and practically zero delay on others. I think it is something to do with the stream and nothing HA related. No fix as far as I have been able to tell.

7

I have 3 radio stations and all of them play with delay 30-60 seconds. I think it’s not related to channels and this is the issue for the developers. I think so because if I run https://transliacija.relaxfm.lt/relaxfm128.mp3 in vlc, it works without any delay.

I have some speakers that play local mp3/wav files instantly with no delay, others cut off the first few seconds of the file.
