As the latest Spotcast stable release is still version 4.x, the script is still based on that Spotcast version.
You can try the version from this branch
As I wrote above, I have script 22025.1. Unfortunately, it doesnât work.
Sorry, I missed that.
Looking better at the error messages it states that spotcast.transfer_playback is not found.
That action was introduced in Spotcast 5, and according to te docs also still works in v6
https://github.com/fondberg/spotcast/tree/dev?tab=readme-ov-file#setup
So, if you donât have that action, either Spotcast isnât properly starting/configured, or you are still using Spotcast v4.
Please check in devtools > actions which Spotcast actions are available to you.
Yes, i have spotcast.transfer_playback in the devtools > actions.
I currently have other errors:

Can you share the full trace?
Hi, this is the current trace.
Iâd need the trace from the Google Home Resume script, and the helper script. Could you also share those?
Google home resume - dpaste: H577VCHCT
Helper script - dpaste: HADHFA9NA
I sent you the script logs a few days ago. Could you tell me if you were able to determine why the script wasnât working?
Sorry, Iâve been rather busy with other things.
Now the links are not valid anymore. Can you share them again?
I am sharing the tracks again.
Google home resume - dpaste/7N20o (YAML)
Helper script - dpaste/djkmz (YAML)
You are using âversionâ: â2024.9.0â.
The branch I pointed you to is â2025.1.0â
Try again with this version:
https://github.com/TheFes/Google-Home-Resume/blob/714bc8251ffc5be1806b7c47ef98910d6be57db0/google_home_resume.yaml
Unfortunately, I messed it up myself. The helper script was saved in two places, in the scripts and packages directories. I cleaned it up, and the script is now working properly. Thank you very much for helping me solve the problem.

Hi,
Iâve edited the script to make it work with Music Assistant, as with the original version I wasnât able to resume music/podcasts from where they were interrupted.
Thank you very much!

Any idea how to make it works with SpotifyPlus?

I had built in MA support before, but removed it as MA can handle that perfectly fine itself 
Nice script @TheFes! Iâm wondering if this script is needed for my scenario:
- Audio is already playing on Google Home speakers
- Automation pauses current media, and plays a short audio (2m)
- Checks idle state, then resume previous audio.
Will HA automation be able to handle this natively, or this script is still required for the last step? Thanks
The script is not using any actions which a native HA automation also canât perform.
It will depend on what is playing how difficult it is to set this up in an automation.
If you want to resume Spotify, youâd need something like Spotcast to perform the resume. A simple radio stream can be resumed without any additional integrations.
Using a script makes it easier to perform the actions needed, so you donât have to add all the actions to each automation. Using this script prevents you from re-inventing the wheel, but it could also be that it is a bit too much for your use case.
