The problem

When using the action "mass.play_media" in a Home Assistant automation or script, the action fails with error "Error: recommendations not found", only when the "radio_mode" parameter is set to "true". When it is changed to "false", the action works as expected. No difference in behavior for grouped/ungrouped players. This was working without issue in my automations since before 2024.11.4.

Radio mode seems to be enabled by default in the web player (I couldn't find a way to turn it on/off) and works as expected.

How to reproduce

Create a Home Assistant automation that uses the mass.play_media action with radio mode enabled. Run the automation. Observe the "Error: recommendations not found" error.
