YOu mean replace with the code you provided the below code?

from homeassistant.components.media_player import (
    SUPPORT_TURN_ON, SUPPORT_TURN_OFF, SUPPORT_VOLUME_MUTE, 
    SUPPORT_VOLUME_STEP, SUPPORT_SELECT_SOURCE, SUPPORT_PREVIOUS_TRACK,
    SUPPORT_NEXT_TRACK, MediaPlayerDevice, PLATFORM_SCHEMA)
from homeassistant.const import (
    CONF_HOST, CONF_MAC, CONF_TIMEOUT, STATE_OFF, STATE_ON,
    STATE_PLAYING, STATE_PAUSED, STATE_UNKNOWN, CONF_NAME, CONF_FILENAME)
from homeassistant.helpers.event import (async_track_state_change)
from homeassistant.helpers.restore_state import RestoreEntity
from homeassistant.core import callback
from configparser import ConfigParser
from base64 import b64encode, b64decode

I think that [custom_components.json] have to be updated from

“local_location”: “custom_components/media_player/broadlink.py”

to

“local_location”: “custom_components/broadlink/media_player.py”

128

@Vassilis, component will not be found by HA in 0.91.0b2.
Looks like it needs another name?

129

Ha! That was easy, just renamed
.homeassistant/custom_components/broadlink
to
.homeassistant/custom_components/broadlink1
and also the media_players

media_player:
  - platform: broadlink1

Lesson learned!

Hi,
New version - 0.92 and component not loaded.

131

anyone who still got this working
please guide,
thanks

132

Create the folder and rename like in my post above.
Create an __init__.py file with DOMAIN = "broadlink1" in it.

133

Dear,
Will this work on 0.92

134

I’m on 0.92.0 and it works.

(ha) homeassi:~$ ls -l .homeassistant/custom_components/broadlink1/
insgesamt 20
-rw-rw-r-- 1 homeassi homeassi    22 Apr 18 09:18 __init__.py
-rw-rw-r-- 1 homeassi homeassi 10395 Feb 15 11:14 media_player.py
135

Can please provide me ur custom component files,
Thanks in adv

136

The media_player.py is the original from github just renamed from broadlink.py
The __init__.py

(ha) homeassi:~/.homeassistant/custom_components/broadlink1$ cat __init__.py 
DOMAIN = "broadlink1"

Like said 3 posts above.

137

Why not use SmartIR? This component is outdated. If you need help to convert your INI files, please PM me.

138

Ah thanks a lot, using SmartIR was too much on my plate as I jump from 0.87 to 0.91, and this just makes an easy workaround for a while !

EDIT : @Vassilis, I wrote that just before your comment. You’re right, I’m planning to move to SmartIR, but later as I still have a lot to debug !

139

Thanks for the hint!
