Can anyone see why this isn't doing anything?

#

But this IS working?

#

On the first one I am not even getting the chromecast connect jingle.

What does the yaml show for that latter one?

#

Let me check

sage perch
#

IIRC the "content id" is not the path

true mountain
#

Where should i specifiy which file should be played?

#

Here is the Yaml for the second one:

#

maybe try with formatting the content_id in the same way as that yaml shows

true mountain
#

yay! Fixed that!

swift shuttle
#

If in doubt, let HA build it and copy that...

true mountain
#

Good idea, just fixed it in Yaml and copied the path so it would be unique.

#

Bonus questions, are automation executed one after the other or simultaneously?

swift shuttle
#

Depends on what you tell it to do. Look up parallel...
(search this site:www.home-assistant.io parallel )

They are executed in sequence, but your question is probably really "is the play media action blocking until the media is complete". That I do not know.
