Seems like the API of your player is different.

Please post output of:
http://your.player.ip/httpapi.asp?command=getStatusEx
http://your.player.ip/httpapi.asp?command=getStatus

the problem is an automation if i use this service doesen t work

service: tts.google_say
data:
  entity_id: media_player.seeme_hifi
  message: la potenza attuale è {{states('sensor.potenza') | int}}  watt
  language: it
  cache: false

instead if i use this, it works fine

service: tts.google_say
data:
  entity_id: media_player.seeme_hifi
  message: la potenza  è {{states('sensor.potenza') | int}}  watt
  language: it
  cache: false

i recently update HA to

Home Assistant 2022.7.7
Supervisor 2022.07.0
Operating System 8.4
Frontend 20220707.1 - latest

if i use a different speaker works but if i use the speacker connected with linkplay give me the error

There is something strange with some character or word?
