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.
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
