See original GitHub issue

Version Homeassistant: 2021.4.3 Spotcast: v.3.5.2

Stopped working on latest update:

Trying to run script to start playback on Google Mini

  sequence:
  - service: spotcast.start

      uri: spotify:playlist:4oAD9NGqlOj87mbkMko52b
      random_song: true
      start_volume: 70
