Need help creating Plex script

Configuration

Hi,

I’ve been trying to create a simple test script to play a movie via Plex on my TV. I have the Plex integration up and running, and using the control created by the integration on the “Overview” page I can control the media on my Plex server being played on my TV.

Here’s the script I have so far:

'1607641823096':
  alias: Die Hard
  sequence:
  - service: media_player.media_play
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.plex_player
      media_content_type: "movie"
      media_content_id: '{ "library_name": "Movies", "title": "Die Hard" }'
    entity_id: media_player.plex_plex_for_samsung_tv_2018
  mode: single

However, when trying to execute the script I see the following errors in the logs:

Dec 10 23:53:03 xxx hass[58398]: 2020-12-10 23:53:03 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.script.1607641823096] Die Hard: Error executing script. Invalid data for call_service at pos 1: extra keys not allowed @ data['media_content_type']

Where have I gone wrong?

Cheers,

Neil.

Instead of media_player.media_play, call media_player.play_media. They’re the same but… different. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/plex/#service-media_playerplay_media

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, that did the job.

My next question is, is there a way to tell my Samsung TV to load the Plex App?

Cheers,

Neil.
