After 9.4 update on watch series 8, my Playlist shortcut on watch no longer works but I get a “MPAssistanterrorDomain error 0”.
This is the red (by default) shortcut that allows you to play a pre selected playlist. Prior to the 9.4 watch update, I could touch on this Shortcut on my watch 8 and my particular playlist would play on my phone.
Hey ParadiseEarth,
We'd be happy to help out. It your shortcut is no longer working, we'd suggest getting started by restarting both your Apple Watch and the iPhone it's paired with. If you continue to have issues, try unpairing your watch from your iPhone and setting it back up again.
For help with doing so, please review these steps:
How to unpair and erase your Apple Watch if you have your iPhone
1. Keep your Apple Watch and iPhone close together as you unpair them.
2. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
3. Go to the My Watch tab and tap All Watches.
4. Tap the info buttonnext to the watch that you want to unpair.
5. Tap Unpair Apple Watch.
6.
7. Tap Unpair [your Apple Watch name].
8. For GPS + Cellular models, choose whether to keep or remove your cellular plan.
* If you want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, keep your plan.
* If you don't want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, remove your plan. If you aren't going to pair with a different watch or iPhone, you might need to contact your carrier to cancel your cellular subscription.
9. Type your Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock, then tap Unpair.
Before erasing all content and settings on your Apple Watch, your iPhone creates a new backup of your Apple Watch. You can use the backup to restore a new Apple Watch. After your Apple Watch unpairs, you'll see the Start Pairing message.
Now you can set up your Apple Watch again or turn it off if you're selling it or giving it away.
This is all outlined further here: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support
We hope this helps out, but if not, it'd be best to recreate the shortcut.
Take care!

In my case, editing shortcut with iPad caused same problem.
After I remove and re-add action with iPhone, it came back working again.

This is something I already did several times. I also deleted and reinstalled the shortcut on my iPhone. Still with no success. Also, noticed looking at other playlist shortcuts they give similar errors.
