Invalid context uri

Bug Ticket

Describe the bug

When calling the service spotcast.start, It always errors with Invalid context uri (see more detailed logs below).

This used to work, but broke recently.

• Using latest version of spotcast
• I have setup the Spotify integration in Home Assistant
• I am using multiple accounts
• Using latest stable version of Home Assistant
• I have Spotify Premium
• I’m attaching relevant logs with level debug for component spotcast (see README)
• I’m using entity_id in the service call and have tried device_name but the issue remains

Environment

• Installation type: [Container]
• HA version: [2022.3.4]
• spotcast version: [v3.6.27]

Configuration

  client_id: **********
  client_secret: **********

Service Call

@OzGav that’s because it’s in the dev version but haven’t been released yet. Due to the low impact of the error and that I don’t have a lot of free time at the moment.

[OzGav]

Yeah it is in the error message which was messing me around. This is what you get if you format the uri incorrectly: is not a valid URI. The format should be [Spotify.<type>.<unique_id>] So there is two things wrong with that, the leading capital S and the . instead of :

edit; Looks like the : has been fixed but not the capital S custom_components/spotcast/helpers.py

edit2: I have raised a PR. Not sure why I am seeing an incorrect error message though with the colon as I only installed this tonight?
