Loop/repeat function

[nadzvee]

Okay guys, so I'm having an issue with the music assistant add on from hacs. Basically I would like to create an automation to play a lullaby from YouTube music and cast it to the bedroom nest Hub. Now I have managed to get this working but I am unable to repeat/loop the track. I can do it manually from the music assistant UI, but no way of setting this up when playing the script in the automation.

Thanks in advance

Here is my automation yaml below

---

service: mass.play_media
data:
media_id: Hush Little Baby
media_type: track
album: Lullaby Baby
enabled: true
target:
device_id: cvxtstfhhdyfghft...

You can turn in the repeat mode using a service call https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/media_player/

p.s. please format your YAML by using this button <>

Sorry about the formatting

But this is my whole automation yaml. I've tried using the media_play.repeat_set service but with no luck. Thanks

`alias: HushBaby
description: ""
trigger:

• platform: state
  entity_id:
  • input_button.hushbaby
    condition: []
    action:
• service: mass.play_media
  data:
  media_id: Hush Little Baby
  media_type: track
  album: Lullaby Baby
  enabled: true
  target:
  device_id: c10d5781bdf0c82887625a2ea937b47d
• service: media_player.repeat_set
  data:
  repeat: one
  target:
  device_id: c10d5781bdf0c82887625a2ea937b47d
  enabled: true
  mode: single

Sorry again. Attempt 3

alias: HushBaby
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - input_button.hushbaby
condition: []
action:
  - service: mass.play_media
    data:
      media_id: Hush Little Baby
      media_type: track
      album: Lullaby Baby
    enabled: true
    target:
      device_id: c10d5781bdf0c82887625a2ea937b47d
  - service: media_player.repeat_set
    data:
      repeat: one
    target:
      device_id: c10d5781bdf0c82887625a2ea937b47d
    enabled: true
mode: single

I don’t think you are calling the service correctly

  - service: media_player.repeat_set
    data:
      repeat: one
      entity_id: media_player.yourMediaPlayer

I don’t know about that enabled key you are using, where is that from? Try using the entitiy_id instead of device_id

Tried calling it like that got an error.

Amended the script as follows but still no luck

alias: HushBaby
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - input_button.hushbaby
condition: []
action:
  - service: mass.play_media
    data:
      media_id: Hush Little Baby
      media_type: track
      album: Lullaby Baby
    enabled: true
    target:
      device_id: c10d5781bdf0c82887625a2ea937b47d
  - service: media_player.repeat_set
    data:
      repeat: one
    enabled: true
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.nadzvee_bedroom_nest_hub
mode: single

The mass play media call is not correct either. You can use the dev tools to see what the service calls should look like. Where are you getting that enabled key from ? You should remove that. And I said before use entity_id

Okay so I've just been playing around with it. And have realised that music assistant itself does the same thing. So when I'm playing from the UI. It plays one track then stops. Doesn't move to next track or repeat the same one either. Is this a nest hub problem or music assistant problem?

[OzGav]

Firstly what version of the server are you running. Secondly, can you see the repeat mode change in the UI when you trigger the automation?

Sorry, fixed now. Just updated my music assistant server and integration. Thanks
