I am using the google assistant sdk on a raspberry pi. I am trying to use the textinput.py sample code to ask google assistant to play some music on my Google Home Mini (it is called 'Bedroom Speaker'). The problem is, when I enter text queries they don't do anything. I pasted an example below:
: hey google, play music on bedroom speaker
<you> hey google, play music on bedroom speaker
: play music
<you> play music
<@assistant> Play Music. Google Play Music is a music and podcast streaming service and online music locker operated by Google, part of its Google Play line of services. The service was announced on May 10, 2011; after a six-month, invitation-only beta period, it was publicly launched on November 16, 2011.

After asking the pi to play music on my Google Home Mini, nothing happens. When asking other questions like "Play Music" it just gives a wiki definition of Google Play Music. If I ask other normal questions like "What time is it?" there is no text response, but it reads out <@assistant>
Do you have any ideas on why it will not play music on my Home Mini? I have tested this command on my phone and it works; it does not work on my raspberry pi.
Playing music is not supported in the Google Assistant SDK.
