This is the current trace. Sorry, the previous one may indeed have been out of date.

Change stop_before_action in the settings and set it to false

I have it set on true myself because I don’t have the issue that my players won’t stop

997

I set “stop_before_action: false” but now the script doesn’t stop the music, doesn’t play the message and doesn’t resume. I can only run it once. It seems like it stops somewhere.

It was waiting for the helper script to finish, can you also send the trace for that?

I am attaching a “helper script” trace.

It looks like the TTS action fails, and therefore both scripts are still waiting.

Does this work if you run it in developer tools > actions

My previous (now removed) post was incorrect, let my check again.

1003

I noticed that the automation was no different from before.

1004

It was, but my correction was incorrect

1005

Does this work in devtools> actions? There was a space added where it didn’t belong

          action: media_player.play_media
          target:
            entity_id: media_player.glosnik_w_lazience

Unfortunately it doesn’t work. Syntax error.

The speaker now plays the notification.

On a single speaker, resuming works fine. I have two more speakers that create a stereo pair. (A pair created in Google Home). On them, the music stops, the message plays but the music does not resume. Should I create a group for these speakers in the script as below?

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
        # primary_spotcast: "jszkiela72"
        # radio_data:
        #   NPO Radio 2:
        #     picture: "http://192.168.2.3:8123/local/pictures/radio/npo_radio_2.png"
        #     title: "Er is maar Ă©Ă©n NPO Radio 2"
        #   Radio Veronica:
        #     picture: "http://192.168.2.3:8123/local/pictures/radio/radio_veronica.png"
        #     title: "WE. LOVE. MUSIC."

        #     title: "NO ALTERNATIVE"
        speaker_groups:
          media_player.para_w_kuchni:
            - media_player.kuchnia_lewy
            - media_player.kuchnia_prawy

Do you target the pair itself, or a single channel (so either left or right)? In case you target the pair, it should not be needed to define the group.

I also have a stereo pair in my office, and I never use the single channels.

If it is not a stereo pair, but a speaker group, you should define it in the settings as you did in your example above

1012

The target is in stereo pair. I see an error in the helper script. Do you know what it is related to?

https://dpaste.org/gJyKe

1013

That error is from Spotcast. It can’t find the device id from your entity id. Is the name of the entity and device exactly the same as in the Google Home app?

1014

Yes, the name in google home and HA is the same “Para w kuchni”
