Trying out the AI dj in Music Assistant. The selected playlist is being played, but the dj voice is never heard.
I got this in the logging:
2026-09-05 15:15:34.367 WARNING (MainThread) [music_assistant.AI Radio] AI Radio clip 802a49e13bb74abcab91d8d6453ce00f_002 (Artist fact) failed to generate: AI engine 'hass/ai_task.ollama_ai_task' is not connected. Reconnect the provider (for example Home Assistant) and retry.

My configuration of the Music Nerd host is as follows:
The AI DJ plugin is configured this way:
I’ve used both local LLM’s (Ollama) and Google Gemini. Both give the same error: (Artist fact) failed to generate: AI engine ‘hass/ai_task.ollama_ai_task’ is not connected. Reconnect the provider (for example Home Assistant) and retry.
I have no idea how to follow this advice. It worked when using the beta version of MA. Have removed this version of MA when 2.10 stable came out.
Anyone has a solution to correct this error or knows how to debug this problem? If necessary I can provide more logging.
