i2s media player cant play local files anymore, radio, TTS works great

[Electronlibre2012]

The problem

When i play a mp3 file from my local /media folder, nothing play. In the esp32 media_player its says "playing" but no sound.

Same mp3 file can be played on any other google home.

My i2s media player can play TTS or a lot of radio without issue, so i am sure its not a hardware problem.

i have not use for a while, so i read some report the local files stop working since 2022.11.0 version of HA

This problem is the same for me. I also try out to play sources from an other server from the network and it works. If I try to play the same sources over "HA Music Assist" the source URL is again the HA and it not playing. In the logs i didn't see errors or problems. Same logs as shown above.

Similar issue, "Component i2s_audio.media_player took a long time for an operation" but has worked once or twice in the past with the same hardware and config.

Turns out for me the cause was trying to play https media urls, which silently fail. See e.g. https://github.com/esphome/feature-requests/issues/2179

try popping this in your configuration.yaml and putting your media files in /config/www/media folder.
