Trial and error fix :slightly_smiling_face:

from homeassistant.components.media_player import (
    MediaPlayerDevice, PLATFORM_SCHEMA)
from homeassistant.components.media_player.const import (
    SUPPORT_TURN_ON, SUPPORT_TURN_OFF, SUPPORT_VOLUME_MUTE,

117

Are you in the beta version?

118

No. 0.87.1

119

This update works only with the next version of HA.

120

Right.
Will be good to mention this at Github and keep both versions of the component.

121

You’re right. I plan to open a beta branch. Sorry for the inconvenience

122

I hadn’t seen this component. I ended up wroting my own:

It has two nice feature missing here. But might be lacking other.

  • support volume control by percentage/slider for media players supporting a ir code for at least one fixed volume (yamahas for example)
  • can generate the ir command from an (protocol, device, subdevice, function) tuples from https://irdb.tk. For now it needs manual install of my irgen python package.

Don’t mean to hijack thread.
