for now solved adding in the HomeAssistant scripts:

continue_on_error: true

for "mass.play_announcement" and "tts.google_say" services

The error seems clear as it indicates the file is not found but you say it actually plays correctly? Please show the whole script. If you look closely at the error you will see a missing / in the url. It shows http:/ not http://

[I-G-1-1]

It's not important the whole script as HomeAssistant and MusicAssistant give the error simply using the "developer tools/services" in HomeAssistant (the screenshot I took is from the developer tools). As consequence of the error any script terminate and doesn't go further. As workaround using "continue_on_error: true" let HomeAssistant ignore the error and continue to run the script.

The error seems clear as it indicates the file is not found but you say it actually plays correctly?

Yes the file plays correctly on the media_player. So it seems like MusicAssistant does its job correctly but incorrectly returns an error pretending the file just played doesn't exist.

If you look closely at the error you will see a missing / in the url. It shows http:/ not http://

I saw that. However you can see the url I set in the developer tools has correctly "http://", only the lines that reports the error in the web-ui and in the log have "http:/". As mentioned before the file plays well on the media_player so I'm more inclined to believe that the "http:/" is a rendering issue made by MusicAssistant when try to return the error.

[OzGav]

I'm not sure whether the missing / is just a display issue. Someone else reported a similar problem adding a radio URL. Its being looked at.

I'm having the exact same issue, down to the missing forward slash on http for the error. The only addition I have is that one of my squeezelites won't even play the file. Two of my three using lms lite, play even though it errors. The two that play are esp32 based and an amd manjaro 64 bit. The one not playing the file is a rpi 4b. In addition, chromecast devices using the mass media player also give the error but still play the file for announcements as well.

Just hoped to share in case it bears any fruit.
