Since YT Music (I'm a premium member) can't put a track on repeat while casting...
... so I had to make several almost-identical hour-long tracks of my waves and rain 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... so far so good.
Hen I cast it to a chromecast device it also plays fine... so far so good.
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 again.
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, then it has an error trying to play whatever it found.
I see several recent references to the happy fact that 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
