42-46: Section Headers and Entity Description Formatting
The new "Supported functionality" header and accompanying "Media player entities" subsection provide a clearer structural outline. However, in the descriptive text on line 46, consider adding a comma before the phrase "and richer options for selecting the media for playback" to improve the readability of the listed features.🧰 Tools

52-52: Enhanced Media Play Control Description
The updated description for themusic_assistant.play_mediaaction is informative, highlighting its expanded capabilities over the standard media player action. You may also consider a slight rewording for conciseness, for example by streamlining the list of features.
114-130: Transfer Queue Example Clarity and Formatting
The newly added example for transferring the queue is detailed and practical. For improved readability, consider inserting a comma after introductory phrases (e.g., "In this example, the queue...") on line 115. Also, verify that the YAML indentation remains consistent to aid users who may copy and paste the example.🧰 Tools

134-134: Search Action Description Refinement

207-222: Get Library Example Formatting
The new example for themusic_assistant.get_libraryaction is comprehensive and useful. Please ensure that the fenced code block is surrounded by blank lines according to markdownlint guidelines to prevent formatting warnings.
262-264: Known Limitations Section Punctuation Improvement
The limitations are clearly described; however, on line 264 consider inserting a comma after "providers" so that the sentence reads more smoothly (e.g., "…available with certain music providers, and an error will be shown…").🧰 Tools

42-46: New "Supported functionality" Section and "Media player entities" Subsection
The new headers and descriptive paragraph clearly outline the enhanced features for MA media player entities. This addition improves documentation clarity by detailing capabilities like queue transfer, automatic pausing during announcements, and richer media selection.
50-52: Enhancedmusic_assistant.play_mediaAction Description
The updated description now emphasizes the benefits over the standardmedia_player.play_mediaaction (e.g. adding multiple items to the queue and enabling radio mode). Please verify that any related examples or references elsewhere in the documentation align with this improved functionality.
84-87: Clarifiedmusic_assistant.play_announcementAction Usage
The revised description succinctly explains that announcements are played via URL using Home Assistant TTS actions. Ensure that this accurately reflects the underlying implementation of TTS within the integration.
101-104: Expandedmusic_assistant.transfer_queueDescription
The new text effectively highlights the possibility of integrating presence sensors with queue transfers. Confirm that the additional detail is consistent with the backend behavior and that the terminology used is aligned with Home Assistant standards.
165-167: Revisedmusic_assistant.get_libraryAction Description
The updated description neatly conveys that this action performs a local search on the MA library to retrieve concise media information for playback queue creation. The technical detail is now more accessible to users.

The expanded description in this section provides a comprehensive summary of the data returned (current and next media item) and its intended use for creating custom dashboards. Verify that this overview remains fully consistent with the actual API behavior of the integration.🧰 Tools

| The `get_queue` action only returns the current and next item in the queue. This is because a large amount of data is returned and if this was done for potentially thousands of tracks this could have an adverse impact on HA performance or stability. | ||

I don't see why this is valid info here

Just because people ask can they get the full queue listing and this explains why they can't with the get_queue action
| #### Example | ||
|
|
||
| This example sets the name of the currently playing track in an [`input_text`](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/input_text/) which could then be used on a dashboard. | ||

| ```yaml | ||
| script: | ||
| get_now_playing: | ||

| alias: "Get Now Playing Track Name" | ||
| sequence: | ||
| - action: music_assistant.get_queue | ||

I'm not sure if these examples are needed ?
Maybe better to simply make an example of the command and what it outputs ?

The quality level item says "The documentation provides automation examples the user can use" so I was trying to find examples that met this. It does also mention using blueprints and linking to those but these seemed small enough and I had a problem with one of them trying to get the HA GUI automation editor to accept the template
| ### Can’t find the MA actions | ||
|
|
||
| #### Symptom: No Music Assistant actions are shown in the editor | ||
|
|
||
| When trying to set up a script or automation via the GUI, no MA actions can be found. | ||
|
|
||
| ##### Description | ||
|
|
||
| This means the add-on may have been installed, but the integration has not. | ||
|
|
||
| ##### Resolution | ||
|
|
||
| Go to the [Configuration section](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/music_assistant/#configuration) and install the integration. | ||

I know but the quality level requirement said to include troubleshooting and this is all I could think of! I can see someone jumping straight to this when searching for a solution to this problem and we do have people asking this exact question. Happy for a better idea for this though!
