The problem

When asking the OpenAI conversation agent for a song without specifying the player, it returns raw JSON.

How to reproduce

Without specifying player: Me: Play the band U2 OpenAI: {"media_id":"U2","media_type":"artist"}

Specifying player: Me: Play the band U2 on ESP OpenAI: The artist Pink Floyd is now playing on the ESP.

How are you able to type the command and HA know what area that is coming from?

Also looks like you aren't just using a conversation agent but you are using a full LLM

[caisamuels]

I just followed the MA Specific Conversation Agent tutorial. I am using OpenAI as the conversation agent. I thought you could just ask for a song without specifying the player as it is an example in the installation guide. I only have one media player set up so I just want it to play on that all the time, almost like a default media player.

Then I am not sure why you are getting the response of “ The artist Pink Floyd is now playing on the ESP” when you should just get “okay”. Do you have a full LLM setup as well?

Ok reading your comment again I see you are using the full LLM. This is not a MA problem. You need to ask in the HA forums.
