Playing Tidal mixes with automations

[PixelHunter]

Hi

I want to do an automation where a Tidal mix is played. I followed the following guide to get the Media ID and test the automation, unfortunately Tidal mixes are not listed under Media.

Media_player:play_media ...how to get the media_content_id: value

I found several posts asking how to get the magic media_content_id:. jjlawren posted the answer [Media player: Play media --> How to get the content ID? - #3 by jjlawren], but I found it still a bit cryptic. Today I went back to Radio_browser integration page. It still says When creating an automation, use the Play Media action to pick a station from the directory. I guess this hint gives a clue to experienced HA developers - but is far too subtle for new non-developers. More detailed ins…

What I did find out is that you can just take track or album URLs from the Web player and place as media_id, unfortunately this does not seem to work with mixes.

working:

action: media_player.play_media
metadata: {}
data:
  media:
    media_content_id: tidal://album/274740907
    media_content_type: album
target:
  entity_id: media_player.wohnzimmer_2

not working:

action: media_player.play_media
metadata: {}
data:
  media:
    media_content_id: tidal://mix/002302060c21542ecf6f4f8d78d7db
    media_content_type: playlist
target:
  entity_id: media_player.wohnzimmer_2

With the error: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘get’

Any idea how to do that? Thanks in advance!
