Please roll back using your backup to confirm it works ok there.

It works fine in b6. I got the same error as above on b7 and b8.

[OzGav]

@ian27ukish Are you using Apple Music as well?

[udochrist]

The b6 is working ok. I don‘t have b7 to restore to.

[chasut]

Same here on b9. Apple Music/Airplay. Restored back to b6 (previous) and everything is fine.

@ian27ukish Are you using Apple Music as well?

Yep

We are also seeing the same thing. Apple Music (only provider). Started sometime yesterday (08/17) afternoon. We installed two, maybe three MA updates since then.

Fixed in https://github.com/music-assistant/server/pull/1574. Keep an eye out for the next beta

[chasut]

Looks good. Just updated to b10 and did a quick test of this and no longer getting the error. It also feels snappier ;)

[udochrist]

Fixed by b10

[magurac]

Perfect! - Thanks to the team for a quick fix. Listening via MA as I type.

Closed too soon. While I now can play individual songs the same error happens when I try to play a playlist that is created in MA using tracks from Apple Music. Looking at the list I can play the tracks but not the list

[OzGav]

@udochrist Have you tried recreating the playlist? Try with just one track then multiple.

[udochrist]

Yes. Creating a new playlist works. Also working is refreshing the playlist which I find strange. Playlists seem to behave strangely: adding new items also only show up after explicitly refreshing the playlist. While testing this I waited about an hour for the server to add the item to the list and it did not show up. Only refreshing showed it (and seems it fixed the issue too)

[OzGav]

Then I would guess there is something wrong with the way the playlist was originally created. So delete the first one and use the one that works. Having to refresh the view to show the added items is normal. What is broken is the refresh icon should have a red dot on it to show you need to refresh. That is being tracked here https://github.com/music-assistant/hass-music-assistant/issues/2669

So I think this can be closed again?

[udochrist]

Ok. Accepted and closed. on the related note: why would you show a red dot indicating a refresh is needed instead of refreshing it….

[OzGav]

Because MA can't tell when all the things that are getting updated in the frontend are finished. So the red dot is added when things first start getting updated and then when the user gets around to pressing it everything should be done.
