For those that may have been using the embymedia component (not the official HA one) - I’d appreciate some feedback on the latest version’s attempt to reduce resource requirements.
Keep in mind a lot of the media source features like playing Emby media on any device (including the web browser), casting music, etc, can be flaky because of transcoding requirements - these can’t get fixed without feedback.
The AI Assistant support is working, so “Play Die Hard on the Living Room TV” should work.
Make sure to read the documentation because you can tweak resource requirements by reducing frequency of polling etc if it’s still a problem for you.
The existing HA integration doesn’t offer anything that HA needs for voice, it has no media sourcing and has very little control.
This component also gives full visibility into the library and server status, item counts, server state, and more.
For those using Live TV - it has full support for that as well.
The Official HA Emby integration is a great lightweight tool if you just want to see what’s playing and do basic transport control. This integration is for anyone who wants anything more than that.
Thank you @maisun - when you have a little time on your hands, can I get you to create a feature request please? That will help me keep track of it, and make sure I get all the information needed.
Anybody experience the issue when HA restarted:
Error:
Something is blocking Home Assistant from wrapping up the start up phase. We’re going to continue anyway.
The system is waiting for tasks: {<Task pending name=‘Task-3059’ coro=<EmbyDataUpdateCoordinator._schedule_health_check.._health_check_loop() running at /config/custom_components/embymedia/coordinator.py:286> wait_for= cb=[set.remove()]>, <Task pending name=‘Task-884’ coro=<EmbyDataUpdateCoordinator._async_websocket_receive_loop() running at /config/custom_components/embymedia/coordinator.py:693> wait_for= cb=[set.remove()]>}
Can you log an issue in the repository wkth the logs? Ive only got 70,000 or so items in.my library, so it may be a library size issue if you have a lot if items.
Yes I have lots more items - I have music video with 20000 songs, but overall I don’t think I have more than 70000. Will log a case in Github.
Can you tell me what does it do that takes long time during start up? I can confirm I see the warning every time when I restart so not random issue.
