Hi
To select a forked-daapd playlist i use switches:
platform: template
switches:
multiroom_dlf_switch:
friendly_name: Multiroom DLF
value_template: >-
{% if is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','off') %}off
{% elif is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','idle') %}off
{% elif is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','paused') %}off
{% elif is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','playing') %}
{% if (state_attr('media_player.forked_daapd_server', 'media_album_artist') | regex_match('^.*Deutschlandfunk.*$', ignorecase=TRUE)) %}on
{% else %}off
{% endif %}
{% else %}off
{% endif %}
turn_on:
- service: script.multiroom_stop
- service: media_player.select_source
target:
entity_id: media_player.forked_daapd_server
data:
source: "radio_dlf (playlist)"
- service: media_player.media_play
target:
entity_id: media_player.forked_daapd_server
turn_off:
- service: script.multiroom_stop
thats running pretty fine.
Now i want to listen to a podcast - controlled by a switch.
platform: template
switches:
multiroom_dlf_news_switch:
friendly_name: Multiroom DLF Nachrichten
value_template: >-
{% if is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','off') %}off
{% elif is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','idle') %}off
{% elif is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','paused') %}off
{% elif is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','playing') %}
{% if (state_attr('media_player.forked_daapd_server', 'media_album_name') | regex_match('^.*Nachrichten.*$', ignorecase=TRUE)) %}on
{% else %}off
{% endif %}
{% else %}off
{% endif %}
turn_on:
- service: script.multiroom_stop
- service: media_player.play_media
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.forked_daapd_server
media_content_id: >-
{{ states('sensor.latest_dlf_news') }}
media_content_type: music
turn_off:
- service: script.multiroom_stop
the stream url is provided by a command_line sensor
platform: command_line
name: Latest DLF News
scan_interval: 900
command: curl -s https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/podcast-nachrichten.1257.de.podcast.xml | egrep -o 'https?://[^"]+mp3' | uniq | head -n 1
Its actually working, i can hear the streams.
BUT:
is there a way to get around that?

I have the exact same problem, in my case I am trying to get a TTS notification to my HomePods:
- id: Notification_Restmuell
alias: Notification_Restmuell
initial_state: 'on'
trigger:
- platform: time
at: '20:00:00'
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: '{% if states.calendar.abfall_restmuell.attributes.start_time
%} {{ now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d") == (as_timestamp(states.calendar.abfall_restmuell.attributes.start_time)
- (24*3600)) | timestamp_custom("%Y-%m-%d") }} {% else %} False {% endif %}'
action:
- service: media_player.turn_on
target:
entity_id: media_player.forked_daapd_output_homepod_links
- service: tts.google_translate_say
entity_id: media_player.forked_daapd_server
data:
message: Morgen wird der Restmüll geleert. Bitte die Tonne raus stellen.
All my forked-daapd speakers are turned on when playing this notification. Doesn’t matter which outputs are configured/activated vie the forked adapt web frontend.
Any hint how to solve this?

i solved it in using forked daapd differently.
You can add rss feed to forked daapd.
Than you need to use CURL once to set the generated rss playlist to load only the latest entry on the
"http://$HOST/api/library/playlists/$ID?query_limit=$QUERY_LIMIT"
after that i can create a switch:
platform: template
switches:
multiroom_dlf_news_switch:
friendly_name: Multiroom DLF News
value_template: >-
{% if is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','off') %}off
{% elif is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','idle') %}off
{% elif is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','paused') %}off
{% elif is_state('media_player.forked_daapd_server','playing') %}
{% if is_state_attr('media_player.forked_daapd_server', 'media_title','Nachrichten - Deutschlandfunk') %}on
{% else %}off
{% endif %}
{% else %}off
{% endif %}
turn_on:
- service: switch.turn_off
target:
entity_id: switch.multiroom_all_rooms_switch
- service: script.multiroom_stop
- service: script.multiroom_default_volume
- service: media_player.clear_playlist
target:
entity_id: media_player.forked_daapd_server
- service: media_player.select_source
target:
entity_id: media_player.forked_daapd_server
data:
source: "Nachrichten - Deutschlandfunk (playlist)"
- service: switch.turn_off
target:
entity_id: switch.multiroom_all_rooms_switch
- service: media_player.media_play
target:
entity_id: media_player.forked_daapd_server
- service: media_player.media_seek
target:
entity_id: media_player.forked_daapd_server
data:
seek_position: 0
turn_off:
- service: script.multiroom_stop
i dont like it actually but at least its doing the following
Set daapd to a good state
Disable all speaker
Play the feed
so in my home.app i do the following:
Click on the Podcast button
Select the speaker i want to have it played

I solved it with just disabling all speakers in the forked-daapd config exept the one for my output. This works in my case because I am using this forked-daapd instance only for my HA use cases.
