Error while loading VLC Media Player

Configuration

Hi guys

Just installed VLC Media Player add-on on my HA Supervised (on a laptop with Debian 10), and in the VLC’s log file I get the following errors:

[0000562d7f71d900] dbus interface error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
[0000562d7f71d900] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[00007f9abe3aab40] main libvlc error: interface "dbus,none" initialization failed
[0000562d7f71dac0] [telnet] lua interface: Listening on host "telnet://:4212".
[0000562d7f756540] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[00007f9abe3aab40] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed

Any ideas how can I solve this?

Thanks

Hi there,

I have exact same errors…

Have You manage to solve this problem? It’s like freaking me out, I’ve spent 3 days to figure this out and nothing…

And it’s really not ok to not be able to play normal mp3 on HA…

Thanks

Unfortunately no solution for this.
It probably has something to do with Linux-related issues. This was too complicated for me.
Eventually I went to a completely different solution.
I took an old Rpi that I have, installed Rpi OS and then installed Mopidy (which is a music server). You can also use Volumio which is more user friendly compared to Mopidy.
I connected my speakers to Rpi headphone jack and it works great.
I know, this is not an ideal solution, but at least it works.
