I’m trying to use the media_player.play_media service in a node-red automation to play an ambient video on a few TV’s when the trigger occurs.
Orginally I used a .webm file which worked fine and I successfully played a .webm 53 GB video file from a local machine to 3 TV’s.
Now I’m trying to add a few more videos which are .mp4 format and slightly smaller (~30 GB) but when the event happens, the TV turns out but just shows a spinning icon and the video never plays…
I verified the location is accurate by accessing the local version (http://127.0.0.1:8123/local/video/Rockys.mp4) which worked fine. Does anyone have a suggestion why this isn’t working or recommend any troubleshooting steps?
Running HA in a docker container v103.6 FWIW. Thanks for any tips!
