Hi, you are using the latest code which is compatible only with the upcoming version 0.84.X. Please use this code instead, but remember to update again when you install 0.84

I bet that’s it! I have the latest code from Github

emi · December 9, 2018, 1:01pm

hello I cloned your git in home / homeassistant / .homeassistant

media_player:

platform: broadlink
name: Sony
host: 192.160.1.7
mac: '78: 0F: 77: 32: 12: A6 ’
ircodes_ini: ‘broadlink_media_codes / sony.ini’
ping_host: 192.168.1.4

but the error configuration:
Component not found: broadlink
Platform not found: media_player.broadlink

why?
what should I do?

SO, by going back to the previous version of broadlink.py solved the original problem but now I get an error that the hassio: component failed to load. Also, the media player now shows up in the UI but nothing works.

The file should be in
.homeassistant/custom_components/media_player/broadlink.py

Hi!
Since you’ve been able to fix this, maybe you could hint as to how you did it? We also experience this same issue in the custom component variable, see: Custom component to declare/set variables,

which has been working flawlessly over the last 13 months, and hasn’t changed…

emi · December 13, 2018, 11:24am

Now it tells me only Platform media player not found…
I have done the same with Climate and it’s all right
With media player not found instead

Hi, it seems to be fixed 12 hours ago.

Mariusthvdb · December 13, 2018, 11:45am

this is solved: Custom component to declare/set variables

Remco_Timmer · December 14, 2018, 6:13pm

You need to update the broadlink.py
