Interesting...
Continuing the discussion from Release 2.4.2 Available:
Just to bump this up, can anyone tell me is this works well, etc?
Thinking of breaking out a MINI to check it out.
Thanks.
Well, I've already used the functionality to resume HomePod playing music after a voice notification! Link
Thanks @gopher.ny !
Dumb question, but how do I get an airplay device discovered?
Start here.
How does one specify a music track to play? Right now, in the Device page, I've tried pasting in a URL from Apple Music (app as well as web browser), from the local file manager (full url, just the path, just the filename), changed it from https to http and back, removed the http:// completely, and more.
The track data is always the last thing that was played using a direct voice command. All other commands work. Just not Play/Restore/Resume/Set Track.
I'm flummoxed. I'm sure this is an ID-10T error.

@JBrown @velvetfoot No, haven't been able to figure it out. finally, I asked ChatGPT, and the answer is that Homepod does not support direct URI playback like the Sonos does.

Guys,
i’m getting the following error in my logs on doing a refresh or changing the volume on 2.4.2.125 to an OG homepod running 18.5. Volume does change successfully.
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 1 out of bounds for length 1 on line 175 (method parse)
@gopher.ny @bobbyD
Should theses “states” in the logs be updating the current state of the device or is this a part of the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException error?
It seams like several of them should be populating the track data / description states that aren’t like; media type, album, title and position.
Yeah, there should be more information in track data.
Can you PM me the hub id?
Next build should have the fix for it.
