Wrong playlist played when I ask google assistant to play my personal playlist

[wolispace]

Since YT Music (I'm a premium member) can't put a track on repeat while casting, I had to make several unique hour-long tracks and upload them into one 8hr long playlist I called 'Wallace loop'.

When I manually play this playlist in YT Music it does as expected.

I have a routing that runs in the morning that slowly reduces the volume, stops casting and then rests the volume ready for next time.... So far so good.

Now I want to have a routing that starts my playlist so I try variations on this:

'Play my playlist called "Wallace loop" on the bedroom speaker'

And the response is something like:

'Alright, here's a YouTube Music playlist called wallis et futuna, Playing on Bedroom speaker...  Sorry, something went wrong. When your ready, give it another try.'  

No matter what I name my playlist it always finds some random playlist and not my own. And then it has an error playing whatever it found.

I see several references to the happy fact that now Google Assistant can now play YT music personal playlists but I can't work out what I am doing wrong to get mine to play.

• Is it because my playlist contains tracks I have uploaded?
• Or because I'm in Australia and the feature I want has not been rolled out here yet?
• Or maybe I'm just not giving the right command?

This is really frustrating as it all worked perfectly in Google Play Music 😞

Thanks

Hey there, 

Sorry to hear about the frustrations that you're having with the Google Assistant and YouTube music, I'm happy to help. 

I would suggest visiting our Google Assistant Forum and writing to them there as this is a question that they would be able to help answer. 

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Thanks.. given there is YT Music, Google Assistant and a Chromecast involved I imagine this might be a hard problem to fix.. just such a pity my routine worked perfectly when we had Google Music - so it does seem like YT music is the cause of the problem.. or how Google Assistant communicates with (or lack there of) with YT Music.

Ok, close this as I have posted my question in the Google Assistant forum.

Thanks
