Play Speaker Preset from Home Assistant

[janstadt]

Is there a way to directly play a preset assigned to a specific speaker from HA? The reason im asking is i've noticed that my playlists keep changing id's. I dont know if i am rebuilding my db unknowingly or what, but i have buttons assigned to a specific playlist in HA for my kids favorite artists and every so often it'll all of the sudden it'll start playing something completely random and not the specific artist. I figured if i had a preset assigned that maybe it would just work better or something. I tried doing text specific playlists in the MASS Service but that isnt consistent. Trying to work around the potential bug here with testing presets, but i do believe there is a bug with the unique id's going on. Have there been any thought into implementing a GUID based id that wont change vs numeric ids?

Below is my service call:

buttons:
  - type: service
    name: Disney
    id: mass.play_media
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.gretas_room
      media_type: playlist
      media_id: 199

This was working just fine a week ago and now the playlist id has changed to 258:

Just use the playlist name https://music-assistant.io/faq/how-to/#get-the-uri

Had very mixed results with that. Plus these are mostly public spotify playlists so if they change the name itll be borked again. Do you know why the unique ids keep changing? Certainly makes sense to use a PK for these things so people can use ids without worry theyll change.

It could change if Spotify changed something so it appeared to MA as a new playlist. The name is probably the least likely to change. @marcelveldt might have some better answer as to why the number might change

I presume you store the music provider playlists in a MASS specific table correct? Shouldnt you be using the PK from that table instead of whatever the music provider uses in cases like this?
