Can you see if this is still a problem with the last beta?

I'm having the same issue with 2.1.0 RC 2 installed and HA core 2024.7.2

A bit of additional info: some Spotify playlist are greyed out and can't be started. Some are not greyed out and can be started.

it seems to be working better after clearing all the caches ( had one error before clearing the caches)

[OzGav]

Better or fixed?

[OzGav]

Greyed out means they aren’t available on the provider

[japyjaap]

Through the search I can find the same playlist and it plays correctly. I can't remove the greyed out playlist. When I try to add the playlist from the search to the library it doesn't show (probably because it's still in there).

[OzGav]

I would probably try removing Spotify and see if all those playlists are removed and the re-add

[chicken305]

it Is fixed.

Just had a random occurence where a song restarted in the middle like 2-3 times

also when i have a Queue and select a song to "Play Now" it plays that song but shows the next song from the Queue in the player, and the Song i picked to play now gets sorted into the "played" Tab And one snippet for example 22 seconds long played twice and restarted once and after that started playing the song i skipped by Playing now that snippet

[chicken305]

yea no something is broken. it does not finish songs even when i just pick one album to play. the next song starting to early then and bricking it after finishing. While using the song length of the previous song, if it plays at all automatically from the queue.

after prematurely starting the next song nothing else plays anymore on its own. If i press play again the first song plays again, but now overflowing the timer of the second song: if i press Next Song, then the third Song starts playing, but also does not finish

Do you have other than a HA media player?

[chicken305]

what do you mean exactly?

[OzGav]

In your report you only indicate you have tried Ha media players. These aren’t the best as they rely on code outside of MA. Do you have other player types to try?

[chicken305]

as far as i could test it now before sleep it seems to be working when using airplay for example. So it seems to be the ha media player. Still very weird behaviour

[OzGav]

Per the docs if there is a native player available you need to use that so continue using the native Airplay provider. As for the other issues they should be fixed in the latest beta. That will get promoted to stable soon.
