Core Linkplay Integration

Feature Requests
1

Please consider making the new core integration as functional as the HACS integration it is replacing. At the moment it’s not a lot of use. I posted this in issues, but it was closed because apparently I have to put it here.

The outgoing HACS implementation has options which I can’t see on the new core version. Notably :

icecast_metadata:

lastfm_api_key:

And also the ability to define sources :

"http://79.111.14.76:8002/femalemetal": "Female Vocal in Metal",

Without this functionality the core integration is not a replacement.

or does not work (?):

action: media_player.join and action: media_player.unjoin

I also make excessive use of common_sources and multi-room audio. I would really love to see those features in the official HA-Core linkplay integration.

I can’t event send m3u files to the new media player…
Also using presets like on hacs would be a good feature

It would also be nice to have the option to send commands to the linkplay device as well.
With the HACS integration I had the option to make buttons with actions like this:

    - name: Terras
      type: service
      id: linkplay.command
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.terras
        command: MCU+PAS+RAKOIT:BAL:-100&
        notify: false
    - name: Tuin
      type: service
      id: linkplay.command
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.terras
        command: MCU+PAS+RAKOIT:BAL:100&
        notify: false
    - name: Beide
      type: service
      id: linkplay.command
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.terras
        command: MCU+PAS+RAKOIT:BAL:54&
        notify: false

These buttons made it possible to change the balance between the left and right speaker, which are in different positions in my garden
