Describe the issue

I am using version 1.2.2 and it seems like #164 has popped back up. Cast devices require a publicly hosted url but chime is not forming one. I have configured this already in my installation years ago:

homeassistant:
  external_url: https://my-domain.com/
  internal_url: https://my-domain.com/

I use an internal DNS so my hostrname is resolvable internally as well. The error message clearly shows it not placing my external domain when forming the url:

2025-03-28 02:18:48.409 ERROR (Thread-13) [homeassistant.components.cast.media_player] Failed to cast media http://192.168.1.213:8097/single/d9f243d5-0e1c-602c-bf9c-3d2bd45e49ea/e1cb8f1dd5a14daa813f417008da8a3b.flac. Please make sure the URL is: Reachable from the cast device and either a publicly resolvable hostname or an IP address

Projecting the audio to a Home Assistant Voice PE it works jsut fine, but not my Google cast devices. I tried using a path on /www as previously mentioned was working in #164 but there is a hard requirement to use a media_source path

This looks to be the fix from that previous issue

If so I will add a fix so that Chime TTS will use the public URL path with cast media_players instead of the media content id.

Looks like the ability to test if it is a cast device is not working?

You can workaround the error using say_url but that feels like an unnecessary additional step. Here is a script that works for a workaround:

sequence:
  - action: chime_tts.say_url
    metadata: {}
    data:
      chime_path: ba_dum_tss
      message: test audio message
      tts_platform: google_translate
    response_variable: response
  - action: music_assistant.play_media
    metadata: {}
    data:
      enqueue: replace
      media_id: "{{ response.url }}"
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.office_speaker_2
alias: Test Chime TTS
description: ""

Reproduction steps

No actions run so here is my action's yaml to reproduce:

action: chime_tts.say
data:
  chime_path: bright
  message: test
target:
  entity_id: media_player.office_speaker_2

Came across your issue while searching for something else...I had a similar issue and ended up changing my Internal URL setting in Home Assistant to the machine IP. Ugly, but seemed to fix it with no downsides.

Hope this helps.
