Did you have your shuffle mode set to on maybe?
I used your service call (with my entity_id and Bose ST-10 device) from the developer tools \ actions menu, and it played the list of tracks in sequence except for the Moon River track. It would not play the Moon River track; I believe that might be due to country code restrictions on that specific track (I am in the U.S.), as it is greyed out in the Spotify Web display.
Probably my wife. I use his account so as not to dirty my boring songs. I will check thanks. Or can I enter a command to remove random play before starting the playlist?
Unable to perform action: script/dormi_linda Validation error: There is no active Spotify player device and a default player device has not been configured.
Did you specify the device_id: Camera Lida in the player_set_shuffle_mode service call?
You may also need to transfer playback to the device first, if it’s idle. Try the following script:
alias: Spotify Playlist with Transfer Playback and Shuffle Off
description: >-
Transfer playback to specified device and start the playlist with shuffle
disabled
sequence:
- alias: Transfer playback to specified device
action: spotifyplus.player_transfer_playback
data:
entity_id: media_player.spotifyplus_paintervale
device_id: Camera Linda
play: false
- alias: Disable Shuffle Mode on the specified device
action: spotifyplus.player_set_shuffle_mode
data:
entity_id: media_player.spotifyplus_paintervale
device_id: Camera Linda
state: false
- alias: Start the playlist on the specified device
action: spotifyplus.player_media_play_context
data:
entity_id: media_player.spotifyplus_paintervale

You were quicker to reply to the message than I to change mine. I added en error that appears when I try to run the script I don’t understand why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, I don’t understand logic.Maybe Spotify Plus Paintervale is not ready?
It sounds like the device has fallen out of the device list due to inactivity maybe?
What is the manufacturer of the Camera Linda device (e.g. Sonos, Alexa, etc)?
You might try the following, which adds a slight delay between the steps as well as force activates the device if needed:
alias: Spotify Playlist with Transfer Playback and Shuffle Off
description: >-
Transfer playback to specified device and start the playlist with shuffle
disabled
sequence:
- alias: Transfer playback to specified device

It’s been a while I installed that integration. I know it worked well, but suddenly (I don’t know since when, cause I don’t use it a lot last time) I get this error :
@Tsar
Spotify made some changes to their API again in early May, disabling the Spotify Web Player Cookie credentials. This means that Free / non-premium accounts can no longer initiate play via SpotifyPlus, which uses the Spotify Web API to control the player.
For Free accounts, you must now control the player with the official Spotify Apps. The SpotifyPlus integration can only be used to show what is currently playing, and to manage favorites.
Wish I had better news, but unfortunately my hands are tied due to Spotify constraints.
Is the spotify API still limited to not being able to remove a song from the queue?
Given this “Jukebox” view, I have now built adding to the queue (middle table from search), but I want to remove the item from the queue (last column).

Ya, I hear you. I requested more queue maintenance functions for the Spotify Web API on their developer forum (along with others), but with no response. Some requests for that functionality are over 3 years old. Wish I had better news, but unfortunately it’s up to them to update their API first.
I’m encountering some strange behavior when trying to resume playback to a Chromecast speaker group that includes my KEF LS50 Wireless II speaker (“Parlor”). I have four Chromecast audio endpoints in total. Using spotifyplus.player_media_resume works perfectly for resuming playback on each speaker individually — including the KEF — and also for any speaker groups that do not include the KEF. However, when I try to resume playback on a speaker group that does include the KEF, I get a “device not found” error.
Note that I am not experiencing any issues when sending music directly from the Spotify app to speaker groups that contain the KEF speaker.
Possibly related: In the SpotifyPlus Lovelace card, any speaker group that includes the KEF (“Parlor”) appears duplicated. This doesn’t happen with other groups. Interestingly, the duplicated entries share the same device ID — for example, I see two instances of “Kitchen Parlor,” both with the same device ID.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for the incredible work on this integration — it’s one of the most-used features in my HA setup!
@rml
Sounds like it could be a bug; I have opened github issue #122 to track / work the problem. Please direct any responses related to this on the github issue.
I also listed instructions for a requested SmartInspect trace as well.
