Mopidy start playlist in home assistant action

[JayNutZ]

The setup works fine for TTS and specific sound files, using the media_player.play_media service:

service: media_player.play_media
data:
  media_content_id: file:///media/mopidy/media/alarm-ice.mp3
  media_content_type: music
target:
  entity_id: media_player.mpd

But for playlists i'm currently unable to make it work. I have a .m3u8 playlist generated by the web ui of the plugin. I've tried copying the file from the mopidy playlist directory to the media folder, using the file:///-syntax as it is used for mp3 files, as the m3u:Chill.m3u8-URI you get from the web interface context menu. Just to be sure i also tested setting the media_content_type to back to music, because it works for a music file.
My expectation is, that i can use the media_player.play_media service aswell, making slight adjustments:

service: media_player.play_media
data:
  media_content_id: file:///media/mopidy/playlists/chill.m3u8
  media_content_type: playlist
target:
  entity_id: media_player.mpd

Otherwise, it's a charme to have this add-on on hand. I hope i can get this last thing to work 🤩

Unfortunately I never worked with playlists in mopidy. But maybe someone out here or in the Home Assistant Forum has some experience with it.
