Hi as suggested by Frenck as I raised this in issues section rather than feature request (apologies)…
Is it possible to play a playlist that automatically plays all the songs withinthe list. Currently it only allows the choice to select and play one song within the playlist?

I would love to have playlists too, but it’s not easy to add support at the moment. HA media players don’t have a generic concept of play lists (other than enqueue next item and clear all items), so that would have to be added. Also the front end doesn’t have a way of showing the play list information. This will require some HA architecture discussion and in-depth planning to get implemented properly.
If your DLNA server can serve playlist files (.m3u or .pls) and your DLNA media player can play them, and the server doesn’t try to expand the contents of the play list (so that HA shows the items inside instead), then it might be possible to do it now without any changes. But you won’t be able to change or view the playlist contents from HA.
My response… My DLNA server is via Synology NAS which I suspect is .m3u file? Happy to set up the playlist from DS Audio on the NAS, if the option to just play the contents within the playlist from Home Assistant would be awesome as I could incorporate it in my automation and just tell Google to play a specific playlist (with shuffle option if possible
) Hopefully, this is possible… keep up the GREAT WORK!!!
