I struggled a little with media_player.play_media on various devices, it was just not very reliable for me. Fortunately, I stumbled upon an integration named SpotCast. SpotCast seems to have originally been intended for playback on ChromeCast devices but it seems to work quite fine for playback on any device I have that can link with Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide will show you how to enable and use SpotCast within your Home Assistant instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of pre-requisites before we start:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You have the Spotify integration already installed. <a href=\"https:\/\/rapidlydigital.com\/add-spotify-integration-to-home-assistant\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3246\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See our guide.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have already enabled HACS. <a href=\"https:\/\/rapidlydigital.com\/install-hacs-in-home-assistant\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3119\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See our guide.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now lets get going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Install the SpotCast Integration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the Add-ons menu item from HACS<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"743\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-add-ons-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C743&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-add-ons-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C743&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-add-ons-2.jpg?resize=300%2C218&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-add-ons-2.jpg?resize=768%2C557&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-add-ons-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C1115&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-add-ons-2.jpg?w=1762&amp;ssl=1 1762w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find the SpotCast Integration<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-find-spotcast-integration.jpg?resize=1024%2C521&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-find-spotcast-integration.jpg?resize=1024%2C521&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-find-spotcast-integration.jpg?resize=300%2C153&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-find-spotcast-integration.jpg?resize=768%2C391&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-find-spotcast-integration.jpg?resize=1536%2C782&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-find-spotcast-integration.jpg?resize=2048%2C1043&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hacs-find-spotcast-integration.jpg?w=2400&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download the Integration<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/download-spotcast-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C519&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/download-spotcast-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C519&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/download-spotcast-2.jpg?resize=300%2C152&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/download-spotcast-2.jpg?resize=768%2C389&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/download-spotcast-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C779&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/download-spotcast-2.jpg?resize=2048%2C1038&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/download-spotcast-2.jpg?w=2400&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SpotCast Integration is now installed, but that&#8217;s the easy bit.

Notice that you only need the end section of the shared URL.  in this example the shared URL copied was https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/<strong>79mqkTUbukLwNOuRdTJiru?si=3b258737fe5d464c<\/strong> I have made bold the section you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have set random_song to true. if you set false the playlist will play in order. I have also enabled shuffle, you may have other requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Switch back from yaml to visual editor and you should see something similar to the below. You might find this view easier to continue to tweak settings.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spotcast-visual-editor-640x1024.jpg?resize=640%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spotcast-visual-editor.jpg?resize=640%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spotcast-visual-editor.jpg?resize=188%2C300&amp;ssl=1 188w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spotcast-visual-editor.jpg?resize=768%2C1228&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spotcast-visual-editor.jpg?w=783&amp;ssl=1 783w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the end of the guide.
