I’m using the status of a media_player entity corresponding to the Plex player on my Fire Stick to trigger some lighting when playing/pausing content. Although it is working, I’m experiencing a ~5s delay between the moment the movie is paused on my TV and the moment the status of the media_player entity changes (and hence the moment when the lighting automation is triggered). Is there any way to reduce this delay ?
What HA release are you on? The last several releases have switched to a websocket-based update mechanism which provides immediate status changes. I’d recommend the latest release as it has addressed some issues found with the initial feature release.
I am searching for a solution of the exactly same problem - my integration is TTSing me the names of the objects it has found in the system. But I cannot get read of this 5s delay. Have you solved this issue since that time?
