ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 3)

[kieranhogg]

I was trying to discover the media ID of the BBC Radio station in order to add it to an automation. It is setup with each station being a chapter. When starting to play manually, it skips the first chapter, then trying to change chapters/stations results in the following error:

What was your yaml call? As well what version are you running?

[kieranhogg]

Oddly, I think think the underlying cause of this might well be that the URLs that some of the stations point to are returning a 410: Gone, so I'll add the details, but I guess it's not likely to be a common issue.

I think adding seconds as a feature for scrubbing broke next.

I'll take a look, hopefully tonight.

[cdnninja]

I just released a bug fix. Please update and try again.

[cdnninja]

Could have sworn you replied but it isn't here. Odd.

Could you check what the media content id is for this chapter and the next? I noticed it has a special character in it above. We are adding 1 to that value which may not go well.

[cdnninja]

@kieranhogg is this still an issue?

[kieranhogg]

Sorry, I didn't get any time to check before. I think the update has prevented the error, but I I'm still seeing the behaviour where it takes a few tries to play the correct chapter though.

Correct chapter:
media_content_id: 62bEO-06-@001

It frequently skips around to the first chapter which is:
media_content_id: 62bEO-01-@001

[cdnninja]

Could I get debug logs? Are you skipping and it won't let you via the integration? Or do you mean you pass it the correct chapter in YAML and it doesn't play?
