If no music is playing, I get no error (which i assume it is doing the Else

I want an announcment done if my doorbell rings.
if music is playing, i want it to pause, and then play once the announcement is done.
I can’t seem to get past the extra keys error.

This:

    then:
      - service: media_player.media_play

Should be:

    then:
      - service: media_player.play_media

The play_media service allows you to specify what and how to play something.
