Chromecast Radio with station and player selection

Bob_NL · September 19, 2018, 6:55pm

Did you add the automation?

tarbax · September 19, 2018, 6:56pm

yes

- id: '1537382135003'
  alias: Set Radio Volume
  trigger:
  - entity_id: input_slider.volume_radio
    platform: state
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data_template:
      entity_id: >
        {% if is_state("input_select.chromecast_radio", "Livingroom") %} media_player.homemini_livingroom
        {% elif is_state("input_select.chromecast_radio", "office") %} media_player.homemini_office
        {% elif is_state("input_select.chromecast_radio", "Samsung surround speaker") %} media_player.woonkamer
        {% elif is_state("input_select.chromecast_radio", "edifier speaker") %} media_player.edifier_speaker

        {% endif %}
      volume_level: '{{  states.input_slider.volume_radio.state  }}'

Bob_NL · September 19, 2018, 6:58pm

Change input_slider to input_number

tarbax · September 19, 2018, 7:00pm

overlooked that one thanks!

Hello!

I would like to stream these radio streams: https://www.supla.fi/live
They all seem to use m3u8 playlists. There are two stream url in the stream when inspecting with chrome browser:

master.m3u8 https://digitacdn.akamaized.net/hls/live/629243/radiosuomipop/master.m3u8
master-128000 https://digitacdn.akamaized.net/hls/live/629243/radiosuomipop/master-128000.m3u8

Both links works in VLC but they do not seem to be playable in chromecast (Home assistant).

If I paste the first addres to chrome browser, it downloads m3u8 file containing these lines:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:NO
## Created with Z/IPStream R/2 v1.03.23
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=137315,CODECS="mp4a.40.2"
master-128000.m3u8

And the second file:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
## Created with Z/IPStream R/2 v1.03.23
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:2997421
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:6

#EXTINF:5.99, no desc
01499/seg128000-02997426.aac

I have tried different media types but none seems to work.

I would really like to get the stream work since this is the only stream for this radio channel. I would really appreciate if somebody could take a look of the streams. Thank you in advance!

sparkydave · October 25, 2018, 1:31am

have you got links to a web player for those streams? ie: the website homepage etc…?

jussbba · October 25, 2018, 4:57am

Hello,

Yes, it is www.supla.fi/live

sparkydave · October 25, 2018, 5:18am

try using this:
https://dynamic-gatling.nelonenmedia.fi/cos/channels/2/orderby=ruutu_list_weight&type=radio

or you might need to trim that down a bit perhaps to:
https://dynamic-gatling.nelonenmedia.fi/

see how it goes. For future when looking for a stream use Chrome and right click the web audio player and select ‘inspect’. A box will show up on the right hand side, hunt through for a stream address. There is post further up this thread that explains it

jussbba · October 25, 2018, 6:31am

Hi,

Im not sure if you read my post but I have already inspected the web player and I found 2 m3u8 links as I mentioned.

Links you provided does not work as you may see. Thanks anyway!

sparkydave · October 25, 2018, 6:33am

yeah, but you cant use playlist files. You need a stream URL

jussbba · October 25, 2018, 6:39am

I think someone has got playlists working by using

media_content_type: 'application/x-mpegurl'

But it does not seem to work for me. Chromecast gets stucked.

Cee · October 25, 2018, 8:57am

I had problems getting this to work with playlists/spotify and chromecast’s so ended up setting up Mopidy and Snapcast to stream everything. Its a bit of work, but worth it in the end. All controllable from my HADashboard tablet as well.

Hi Rob,

I am struggeling a little bit where to put what part (like script, group and input_select). Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!

keithh666 · November 12, 2018, 11:34pm

This might give you some indication of where to put things

sparkydave · November 12, 2018, 11:42pm

create a ‘package’ and put it all in the one chromecast_radio.yaml file under the folder ‘packages’ and include the below in your config.yaml

homeassistant:
  packages: !include_dir_named packages

You probably try to use this as a package. If that is the case than your config is wrong.
You can’t just add

radio_station:
    name: 'Select Radio Station:'
    options: ...

this is input select so this is right config in package.

input_select:
  radio_station:
    name: 'Select Radio Station:'
    options:

See this posts to sort this.

And also packages documentation.

Brad_Douglas · November 14, 2018, 6:25pm

ok thank you for the guidence, so if i understand correctly the following will be in the config

radio_station:
    name: 'Select Radio Station:'
    options:
      - Radio 538
      - Q-Music
      - 3FM
      - 100% NL
      - Veronica
      - Sky Radio
      - Arrow Classic Rock
      - Classic FM
      - BNR Nieuwsradio
      - SLAM! Hardstyle
      - Sleep Radio
      - Ambient Sleeping Pill
      - Radio Art - Sleep
      - Ambi Nature Radio
      - Calm Radio - Sleep
      - Dinamo.FM Sleep

and then the below in the package/radio_streaming.yaml

chromecast_radio:
    name: 'Select Speakers:'
    options:
      - Lounge
      - Kitchen
      - Milla
      - Bedroom
      - Bose
      - Everywhere
