does not resume playback after an announcement on a group of speakers

The problem

I have multiple players (google cast) grouped natively in Google home. If I send an announcement to the group, the individual players do not resume. I believe, but I'm not entirely sure, that it stopped working from version 2.3.0. Previously it worked great and without problems.

How to reproduce

      - action: tts.google_say
        enabled: true
        continue_on_error: true
        data:
          cache: true
          entity_id: media_player.filodiffusione_2
          message: "{{ message }}"

I can't recreate this

I am no expert on the tts action but those keys of enabled and continue_on_error don't show up in the dev tools so I am not sure they are valid. Try the following in the dev tools and see what happens (replace the entitiy with your own group entity)

action: tts.google_say
data:
  cache: false
  entity_id: media_player.ma_google_speaker_group_2
  message: This is a test

It's precisely the ad that doesn't work on the group. If the action is sent to each individual player the music resumes correctly for each individual player. That's how it works:

      - action: tts.google_say
        enabled: true
        continue_on_error: true
        data:
          cache: true
          entity_id: 
            - media_player.bagno_2
            - media_player.camera_da_letto_2
            - media_player.cucina_2
            - media_player.salotto_2
          message: "{{ message }}"

As I said I can’t recreate this. Sending to my group of four cast players works fine. Did you try my simple yaml action to see what happens for you?

[Africa67]

I tried but it's the same. My yaml action has never changed since using MA and has always worked. But do your players go back to working with their own music? if it is the group that plays, then the group correctly resumes after the announcement. But if each player has different music (each on their own) when I send the announcement to the group then the individuals no longer start again after sending the announcement.

Ok that is intended behaviour https://music-assistant.io/integration/announcements/#group-behaviour

I think this can be closed?
