Hey there,
I recently added the Emby component and it works. But I’ve got a problem. I run Emby on my NAS. But I don’t run it at 24/7. If Emby runs and I restart Home Assistant the Emby media players are visible in Home Assistant. For example I’ve got a Chromecast running and if I stream something via Emby the media_player shows the right results (media content). But if the NAS is offline and therefore Emby is not accessible the Emby media_players are hidden in Home Assistant. If I turn the NAS back on, the media players don’t show up in HA. I need to restart HA then the media players are visible. Is there a possibility to make the media player visible all the time? If Emby is not accessible it shows state off?
I added the media player to customize.yaml
media_player.emby__emby_for_chromecast__chromecast_tv:
friendly_name: Emby for Chromecast
hidden: false
but it didn’t worked. Next possibility is to use the Chromecast media attributes but if I stream with Emby there are no information like title, media content type etc… I need this information to set up automation for my multimedia.
Maybe someone has an idea?
Thanks in advance
