I want to playback sound from the newly integrated network storage.
Setup of storage is fine and I am able to play the file via the media browser graphical user interface.
But I cannot play using the service,eg:
service: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.lsx_wohnzimmer
data:
media_content_type: “music”
media_content_id: “media-source://media_source/local/test.mp3”
I did read the docs at Media Source - Home Assistant
but to no benefit. Maybe i just cant get the path to the media file right, which is embarassing/annoying. I did try with /local or /media or /nameofmymedianetworkshare.
I do not get an error in the logs either. And the player entity switches to play for an instant and goes back to idle immediately.
Any help is much appreciated.
