ESP32 Mediaplayer issues

Third party integrations
1

Hi,

I recently purchased a Raspiaudio Muse Lux in persuit of letting Home Assistant give me TTS messages. For example to tell me if the Front Door opens whan I am in my bedroom etc. Today I use the Alexa Media Player integration for this but I would rather have it locally than depending on the Internet and the cloud.

I first installed the Muse Lux ESPHome Media Player from ESPHome Media Players according to instructions, adopted it in Home Assistant and in the ESPHome addon. It had an IP and I could controll the Muse in every way except playing any audio. Not from TTL or from a local mp3 that I uploaded to HA for testing.

Both my Home Assistant and the Muse are on the same network and subnet, no firewalls etc. I can play audio from server (Roon) to devices fine on the network. I can also control other Media Players, for example my Ropieee XL from Home Assistant. After some elaboration I finally gave up the ESPHome Media Player and instead reflashed the Muse with the Squeezelite-ESP32 firmware and the SlimProto Player integration on HA.

It is basically the same behaviour there, although it gives me no options to control for example the local LED on the Muse as I could with the ESPHome MediaPlayer firmware. Local media doesnt work and TTS doesnt work. I can put the Muse On and Off from Home assistant, and I hear a faint white noice from its speakers when I turn it on. Since Squeezelite has Spotify service, I tested to control it from my iphones spotify app which went perfect.

However the Media Player does not present what I am playing in Home Assistant as all my other Media Players does. If I start a spotify song from my phone I can however pause it from the HA Media Player card. If I start it again it starts play the spotify tune a few seconds but it soon gets replaced by a loud white noice.

I think I can pretty much rule out harware problem on the Muse, since it worked as a bluetooth player when it came and that it plays music from Spotify with Squeezelite.

I have read about people experiencing the same thing, with the noice etc and many people seems so fail getting any sound from it from Home Assistant. Does anybody recognize it, or have ideas on what it can be?

Here is two logs that I found among the HA logs:

Logger: homeassistant.components.media_player
Source: components/media_player/init.py:1259
Integration: Mediaspelare (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 15:44:30 (2 occurrences)

Browse Media should use new BrowseMedia class

Detected integration that calls media_source.async_resolve_media without passing an entity_id. Please report issue for media_source using this method at homeassistant/components/media_source/init.py, line 147: report(“calls media_source.async_resolve_media without passing an entity_id”)

However, as TTS works fine to Alexa with the integration, I dont seem to be able to do TTS or play local media on HA to any other Media Player than to my laptop browser

Hmm. Just installed the Radio Browser integration. It places itself as a Media Source for Media Players. It plays fine from Home Assistant to my Muse Lux with Squeezelite. Can it be just that TTS and Local Media didnt want to play to neither ESPHome Media Player nor to Squeezelite? How come if so?

Having exactly the same issues… the folks over at raspiaudio on their forum are pointing to a network issue, but I am banging my head trying to get the ESPHOME mediaplayer to work on this ESP MUSE Lux…

Edit: Crossing subnets does not work (ooh, the joys of unifi) and media_player / mode: stereo will not work either (produces white noise).

Reflashed with following esphome yaml (on same subnet as HA instance) and all is fine now:

stereo mode now works under ESPHome 2022.12.8
