Can you clear the queue when adding a new playlist?

[nthulke]

Hi,
I just wanted to know if there is an ability to clear the current queue of songs playing witout opening the queue and selecting C"lear all items in queue"?

If this can be scripted then I can add my playlist scripts to clear first before adding in a new set of tracks.

Thanks for any help on this, if I can do this I can sell this method to my better half haha!

You can use the "mass.queue_command" service for that

This should work:

alias: clear music assistant queue
sequence:
  - service: mass.queue_command
    data:
      command: clear
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.mass_muse_luxe
mode: single

For anyone having a look at this, the correct service call is with player_id now:

Clear and add a playlist:

  - service: mass.queue_command
    data:
      command: clear
      player_id: media_player.mass_muse_luxe
  - service: media_player.play_media
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.mass_muse_luxe
    data:
      media_content_id: spotify:playlist:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      media_content_type: music

After recent updates the correct way to do this is to either use the HA service call of media_player.clear_playlist or the new mass.play_media service call and select the appropriate enqueue option

Perfect! Thanks for the help!
