Play spotify playlist with Marantz (HEOS compatibble)

Configuration
1

I have a Marantz that is HEOS compatible. I’m trying to stream a spotify playlist to this device but this doesn’t seem to work. According to the documentation only mp3 URL’s are allowed. So the example below is something I hoped would work but it doesn’t.

    - service: media_player.play_media
        target:
          entity_id: media_player.marantz_sr5013_heos
        data:
          media_content_id: 
            'https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Lkx5SF1q9p7xZHJuAq3I0'
          media_content_type: 'url'

This however does work:

    - service: media_player.play_media
        target:
          entity_id: media_player.marantz_sr5013_heos
        data:
          media_content_id: 
            'https://file-examples-com.github.io/uploads/2017/11/file_example_MP3_700KB.mp3'
          media_content_type: 'url'

Does someone know of another way to stream a spotify-playlist to a Marantz AV. With Heos or another method?

Did you ever find a solution?

I would also like to know whether you succeeded in making this work?

I was able to play a playlist, but only a Heos playlist.
The following steps are not ideal but will work:

  1. Clear playlist
  2. Play Spotify playlist
  3. Go to the queue and save the current queue (star icon)
  4. Choose a name and use this in the play_media service
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: media_player.play_media
  data:
    media_content_type: playlist
    media_content_id: Playlist 1
  target:
    entity_id: media_player.denon_heos_device
