Hi all, not sure if its really related to Apple Music . Ive successfully authenticate and create the apple token.
But if I want to play some audio i got the message : No playable item found to start playback.

Short code:

025-11-14 15:18:00.211 WARNING (MainThread) [music_assistant.player_queues] Skipping unplayable item Aaron May - Cream (apple_music://track/1674667584)
2025-11-14 15:18:00.213 WARNING (MainThread) [music_assistant] Exception in task Task-510 - target: <function PlayerQueuesController.play_index.<locals>._play_index at 0x7f3607306e80>: No playable item found to start playback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/app/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/music_assistant/controllers/player_queues.py", line 863, in _play_index
raise MediaNotFoundError("No playable item found to start playback")
music_assistant_models.errors.MediaNotFoundError: No playable item found to start playback

And for some titles its working without any issues:

(MainThread) [music_assistant.streams] Start Streaming queue track: apple_music://track/1762577467 (Ocean Alley - Confidence) for queue This Device
2025-11-15 14:12:56.807 DEBUG (MainThread) [music_assistant.streams] Starting queue item stream for Ocean Alley - Confidence (apple_music://track/1762577467) - using buffer: False - using fade-in: False - using volume normalization: measurement_only

I´ve already recreate the token and re-install the Addon as well . I´m using the beta right now.

The tracks have to be in the Apple Music catalogue so make sure not to try and play uploaded tracks

Uploaded tracks should work fine with the latest beta. Can you send me a couple of examples that aren't working? I'll see if I can reproduce it

no, normally they are direct from apple example:

Hm, it's kinda strange because I can play the exact items you are referring to:
2025-11-16 10:04:04.348 DEBUG (MainThread) [music_assistant.streams] First audio chunk received for Aaron May - Make It (apple_music://track/1674667579) after 1.31 seconds

The only difference is 'Blaues licht', I can only find the ID you are referring to on the apple music website. In MA I get a different one, but this also plays fine.

How are you playing these items? Via search? Are they in your library? THe only thing I can think of is that it might be a regional availability thing, where you are trying to play a song that's not available in your current region.
