Hi @TheFes - awesome work !!!

I too unfortunately seem to have an error. I don’t really understand how to approach this - maybe you can shed some light.
So, I have an automation that tracks when me/my wife get home - announce this via the google kitchen display (google hub). If music is playing - Spotify/TuneIn - I want it to announce the TTS message - then resume the play of that track which it was playing.
So, the automation is:

alias: Vlad @ Home
description: Vlad arrives home
trigger:
  - entity_id: person.vlad_chiriloiu
    from: not_home

As per your instructions in the documentation - I deleted all previous GoogleHome scripts/automations - created a folder - inside created the .yaml file - copied the script (latest version 2013) and adjusted the initial part to match my setup:

homeassistant:
  customize:
    script.google_home_resume:
      # enter settings for the script here, all settings are optional, you can remove sections if you don't need them
      # always leave the line with "settings: &settings" in!
      settings: &settings

        radio_data:
          Europa FM:
            picture: "http://192.168.000.000:8123/local/pictures/radio/europa_fm.png"
            title: "Just Music"
          Magic FM:

        speaker_groups:
          media_player.all_house:
            - media_player.kids_bedroom_speaker
            - media_player.kitchen_google_display
            - media_player.office_speaker
            - media_player.bedroom_speaker
            - media_player.living_room_speaker
        default_volume_level: 0.25
        dummy_player: media_player.vlc_telnet
        default_resume_delay:
          seconds: 20
        max_runtime:
          minutes: 10
        # settings for automation
        enable_automation: true
        dashboard_cast: true
        announce_volume_automation: 0.4
      # settings for voice script
      voice_settings: &voice_settings
        check_for_title: "White Noise"
        use_resume: true

When I trigger the above automation to test it - it runs up to the google resume script - it cuts the song - plays the TTS message, then it throws the following errors:

What is puzzling is that the device - Kitchen Google Display is present - and working via Spotcast as well as well as via Spotify

I am sorry for the long post - but I wanted to have a background on what I am trying to achieve and what’s not working

Thank you very much for any hint on what may be that’s not configured/setup properly for it to work

I see you were playing Spotify.
Could you also send the trace of the helper script? I suspect this is a Spotify issue also discussed earlier above, where Spotify can’t match the device ID.
That needs to be solved in Spotcast, I can’t really do anything here.

The trace of the helper script will confirm if this is the case.

@lostprophet the same applies to you, this is caused by Spotcast.

For me this helped:
fondberg/spotcast#365 (comment)

The adjusted files are also on my repo: HA-configuration/custom_components/spotcast at main · TheFes/HA-configuration · GitHub

You can give that a try, if it doesn’t work please create an issue on the spotcast repo, or try the topic on the HA community forum.

:rotating_light: SPOTIFY RESUME ISSUES :rotating_light:

There are currently issues with resuming Spotify, this is not caused by the script, but something which is caused by Spotify, which makes Spotcast unable to perform the resume.
The issue you will see (as error in the trace of the helper script, or your log, will be something like Error executing script. Error for if at pos 2: Could not find device with name Kitchen Google Display

For me the suggestions provided in this spotcast issue on GitHub helped. I’ve done these changes in my spotcast files, and for me resume works fine now. The changed files can be found here.

If that doesn’t work, you might wat to try the changes from this spotcast PR. Haven’t applied those mysef, because for me it seems to work now.

816

I had the same issue, applying changes in spotcast files here worked for me.

817

Thanks for the pointer once more, it’s working! :slight_smile: Also tried tunein and that also worked swimmingly, thanks so much for all your assistance! Enjoy the coffee!

Final question if I may: in your sample config you have defined radio stations, this doesn’t seem to be a requirement as it worked for me without defining any. What is the benifit of defining them in the script settings?

818

Well, TuneIn usually has the Radio Channel, eg Christmas Radio as the artist, and then the actual artist and song title eg Wham - Last Christmas as the title displayed on the screen (or in the attributes of the media_player entity).

These are updated by TuneIn, but when the TuneIn stream is interested, that won’t work anymore.
That will mean that hours later, the title will still be Wham - Last Christmas and the respective album art will be displayed.

To avoid that, I created a variable to provide some generic data for frequently used streams, so it will use the logo and slogan of the radio channel instead of the song and album art at the time of the interruption.

Hi @TheFes - thank you very much for your suggestions.
Unfortunately for me neither worked.
I replaced the files (spotify_controller and spotcast_controller) with the ones from your mention earlier, same errors.
I edited the files accordingly as per the post suggested (including the init file from Wait for cast device to boot before failing by Ionshard · Pull Request #366 · fondberg/spotcast · GitHub )
I changed only the lines from Cast device not launching properly, but works if timeout is ignored · Issue #365 · fondberg/spotcast · GitHub - the initial advice - exact same error.
Each change was accompanied by a HA restart to make sure the files are re-compiled again.

It just does not want to work for me :frowning: I am getting the same - cannot find device error message.

820

Sorry, but there is really nothing I can do. This is an issue in the Spotcast integration.

821

I had the same problem, TheFes’s files not helping, threfore I combined both posts you mention - and finally working without any problem :slight_smile:

Here is my spotcast fork.

3 files are changed only (as a combination of those 2 posts):
init.py
spotcast_controller.py
spotify_controller.py

Thanks, I will add this to the alert in the start post.

@manazer I added a link to your repo in the start post, so it can be added as a custom repo in HACS. If you don’t want that, let me know and I will remove it :slight_smile:

823

Hi @Manazer ,

Thank you for the quick idea. I changed the 3 files - as per your post, deleted the cache - restarted HA and now the error changed when I re-tried to run the automation:

It seems that it does not have a reply from one of the definitions - maybe ?

824

Something went wrong with the changes, spotcast can’t be loaded now (and therefor the service spotcast.start is not available).

I loaded the repo @manazer created myself, and I have the same issue. Seems something is not completely right here:

I tried to apply the changes myself in a fork, but this also didn’t work. Seems there is something wrong with the changes from the PR

825

Hmm… in my case it is still working

I did not use custom repo - only those 3 files replaced manually.

Spotcast v3.6.30
Home Assistant 2023.1.1
Supervisor 2022.12.1
Frontend 20230104.0 - latest

Will you help my traces of scripts somehow?

826

I’m on the same versions (all latest).
But when I apply the changes (I assume those in your spotcast repo are the ones changed) I get the errors. I also tried to apply them myself with the same error.

For now I’m back to only the changes from the issue, not those of the PR.

827

Finally! With the changes from the spotcast PR referred in the first post it’s now working like a charm! Thank you for the effort!

828

Hi, I’m also in the same boat with spotcast not working correctly. How did you clear the cache? I tried the spotcast fork above and got this error:

After restart I also get this error when checking config:

Component error: spotcast - cannot import name 'get_spotify_media_player' from 'custom_components.spotcast.helpers' (/config/custom_components/spotcast/helpers.py)
829

Strangely, I removed the Spotcast fork back to the original, updated to latest version and spotify just resumed after an announment. Hopefully its resolved…somehow

830

By clearing cache I meant deleted the cache folder from the custom_components/spotcast - and restart HA - to reload the files.

Strange.
For me the only working solution is combined one - issue 365 + PR 366.
Combined here and installed as a custom repo (GitHub - Manazer/spotcast: Spotcast custom component - combined issue #365 (suggestion 1356797204) & PR #366).

Issue 365:

PR 366: Wait for cast device to boot before failing by Ionshard · Pull Request #366 · fondberg/spotcast · GitHub

Everything working with Spotcast v3.7.0 published yesterday
