Songs stop playing after one track + media picture not shown

[XalaTheShepard]

Dear,

When using the Ytube Music Player, the playlist stops after one song.
Also, on the media players with a screen, the media picture is no longer shown.
I have noticed that every time a song ends and you select the next one, the duration in the screen gets increased with the duration of the song.
In my picture below, the song is only 3 to 4 minutes long, but since I manually selected play next song (after Ytube music player stopped at the end of the track without starting the next track), the total duration is more than 3,5 hours according to the player.

If you have any more questions or comments, please do not hesitate to reply.

Kind regards,

Robin

Hi, I use Google mini and Google Nest Hub as devices

[KoljaWindeler]

hmm that should work .. I'm also using those .. can you create a log file with debug enabled?
Please see the readme how to do it

Logs show nothing out of the ordinary. Rebooted the Google devices and the issue is resolved for the Google mini's. However the issue is still there for the Google Nest Hub. Seems like an issue with Pychromecast. The media player of the Hub refuses to show the media image and stops playing after one song. Even my 7 year old Google Home does not have this issue

Apologies, the errors appeared with a delay. Please find the logs above

Dear KoljaWindeler, if you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. If I can help somehow, please also contact me. The issue seems only to occur with Google Nest Hub and not the other Google devices. Also, it is only an issue for the Ytubemediaplayer and not for other integrations as Spotcast and radio browser. Kind regards, Robin

This error originated from a custom integration.

Dear KoljaWindeler,

I have done some digging and the issue has arisen since version 20240505.01 . I have returned to version 20240420.02 and the issue is no longer happening. Could this issue be the result of the new API?

Kind regards,

Robin

Hi Robin, this is complicated to debug.
One option is to remove the integration and readd it .. that will recreate a cookie and might work better.

403 -> means that youtube returs no access to the requested track and usually has something to do with the cookie

can you try that?

Dear KoljaWindeler,

Many thanks for looking into the issue.
I have deleted the integration and added it again. However, still no luck with my Google Nest Hub (see image).
Only difference was that I had to use the select entities for my dropdown menu instead of the input_select entities I had for years.
The playlist stops playing only on this device after one song and I still have to manually select after each song to play the next song.
Please also note the strange playing time of the song on the right side of the image (11 minutes played of a song of 3 minutes).
Also the media images are still not shown on the screen.
I will add below any logs related to the integration, if available.

Please note that this issue is resolved if I delete the integration and add it again with version 20240420.02 .
So somewhere after this release the issue occured.

Kind regards,

Robin

Maybe a strange question, but might a factory reset of my Google Nest Hub solve the issue?

Kind regards,

Robin

[XalaTheShepard]

Dear KoljaWindeler,

This issue can be closed.
I have done both a factory reset of my Google Nest Hub and deleted Music Assistant.
After these two changes, everything works again as expected.

Kind regards,

Robin
