It looks like it doesn’t recognize the item. This is what I normally do in those situations.
Try restarting openHAB.
There also could be a syntax error somewhere in the file. Maybe try putting the Squeezebox items in their own items file?
@mhilbush I have restarted several times. Could you take a look at the rules because i think if there is a fault thats where it is. Maybe i forgot to exchange some data with my own?

}
]
rule "Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList"
when
Item Squeeze_Oliver_Play_Playlist received command
then
logInfo("squeezeplaylist.rules", "Playing playlist on Oliver Squeezebox")
Squeeze_Oliver_Play_Playlist.apply(Squeeze_OliverMAC, receivedCommand.toString)
endI looked at the rule earlier and it looks fine.
Besides, I don’t think it’s making it to the rule. That error is complaining about not being able to get the item (Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList) associated with the Selection widget in your sitemap.
Not sure if you are on Linux or Windows. In Linux you could try:
cd your-openhab-directory
./runtime/karaf/bin/client items | grep Squeeze
You should see something like this:
Squeezebox_Play_PlayList (Type=NumberItem, State=NULL, Label=Playlists, Category=network, Groups=[sbp_md_deck])Hmm. Maybe try this from a web browser on your Windows box. If you don’t have something to make the JSON pretty, it will look like a mess. But this would display the information about the item Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList.
http://localhost:8080/rest/items/Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList
Edit: Alternatively, in PaperUI, you could go to Configuration > Items and look for the item Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList in the items list.
It works now! Finally. I went through the items in the rules and copy pasted so i made sure that it was making it to the right item. And it didnt show up in the rest api at first. Thank you very much @mhilbush i really appreciate the help. Cheers
It even works when i encode spotify urls to lets say playlist in the lms!
Hey @mhilbush . Ive found that it works great except sometimes the radios turn on randomly. I think this has to do with the rule. When you send it a radio station it will turn on even with the radio off. So i think that when i connect with the android app, habmin, it sends the state of the radio station i chose last, resulting in radios turning on around the house
I tried to add an if to the rule but now it doesnt work. Here’s the code
rule "Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList" when Item Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList received command then if (Squeeze_Oliver_Power == ON){ logInfo("squeezeplaylist.rules", "Playing playlist on Oliver Squeezebox") squeezeplaylist.apply(Squeeze_OliverMAC, receivedCommand.toString) } end
Yeah, that could get annoying pretty quickly. 
Try Squeeze_Oliver_Power.state in your if statement.
