Can't get it to play on music assistant

Hi,

please delete if this is no place for support.

I'm trying to get beatify to work with youtube. When I start a game it pauses and says it cannot reach the speaker. (Media player not responding - check speaker connection) In the log I'm finding the following:

home-assistant  | 2026-02-08 12:39:53.171 WARNING (MainThread) [custom_components.beatify.game.playlist] Skipping song (year 1964) - no URI for provider 'youtube_music'

I'm trying to play on Sonos (or squeezelite, same result). So I installed Music Assistant and added the Youtube Music integration. I can play YT music in music assistant fine, but when I try to run it from beatify I get the following logs. I'm wondering about the log mentioning trying to play spotify, even though I've chosen YT, or is it just your identifier for the song?

I tried to simulate what beatify might be doing and tried to play a link I found in the playlists through a service call (or nowadays action) in HA, but that fails. Might be that I don't use the service call correctly or be a hint for a problem:

action: music_assistant.play_media
target:
  entity_id: media_player.musik_az
data:
  media_id: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=F1dRr6VypB8
  enqueue: play

Failed to perform the action music_assistant.play_media. No playable items found

Home Assistant: 2026.2.1
Music Assistant: 2.7.6
Beatify: 2.4.0

Thanks for any help!
