The problem

Occasionally when starting play on Google Cast speakers this error occurs in the HA log and MASS play does not start. Seems to happen more with speaker groups than individual speakers.

Moreso than the actual error (I understand cast speakers can be kooky), the issue is that I most often I call mass.play_media from a hass script and when the mass.play_media call fails with this error, the continue_on_error parameter in the service call is not respected and the rest of the script does not run.

Calling the same script again with the same parameters no other changes is usually successful with no errors.

    - service: mass.play_media
      target:
        entity_id: media_player.inside_speakers
      data:
        media_id: "All Out 70s"
        media_type: playlist
        enqueue: replace
      continue_on_error: true #MASS script does not continue if mass fails

This is the error from the HA log.
