Media_player.play_media - kodi

I’ve been trying to follow a few forum posts but don’t seem to be making much headway.

after a trigger I want a song to play. For testing im just using a light

- alias: play on light
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: switch.lamp01
    state: 'on'

I’ve tried a few variations but can’t get anything to work. I thought maybe the way I was using media_content_id: was wrong so I found a link to a mp3 and tried both. Again between the forum examples and the states example I tried some variations on the media_content_type:

Any help would be great

Hi,

Try the following;

action:
  service: media_player.play_media
  data:
    entity_id: media_player.osmc
    media_content_id: smb://<username>:<password>@192.168.1.110/Media/Music/Aloe_Blacc/Good_Things/Need_A_Dollar.mp3
    media_content_type: MUSIC

It seemed to work for me
