I've installed this linkplay component and it works great.

By the way, I have not found the linkplay action of this component to play a playlist from local storage instead of selecting only 1 media file as current.

Is there a solution to support playing a playlist on Home assisstant action from Script/Automation?

Thank you.

What do you mean by local storage?

What do you mean by local storage?

I mean the local media files which are uploaded to the same storage with Home Assistant server or the media files on the same Local network with the Home Assistant instance.

For that kind of playlists you need to use Music Assistant which is currently a Custom Component, still under development, but afaik will be included officially in Home Assistant when finished.

This component has preliminary (beta) support for Music Assistant natively with metadata and previous/next controls to navigate within a playlist. You will be able to use service calls of Music Assistant to select playlists, targetting any supported media player.
