Getting a Media player in Music Assistant that is configured in HA

How come I can’t use a media player in Music Assistant that is configured in Home Assistant and works outside of Music Assistant but MA won’t show it?

Have you followed the instructions?

Yes but I think I am running into * Only players that support play_media can be used, other players will be filtered out" I am trying to use a RaspiAudio Muse Luxe. It works outside of MA in HA one song at a time.

What ha integration does that use? I guess that depends what firmware you are using.

ESPHome is where I loaded and the flashed it so it resides in the ESHome integration

I would use the squeezebox firmware. Squeezebox has the best music assistant support of any player Player Support - Music Assistant

So I flashed it as a Squeezelite-ESP32 and I still can’t get MA to recognize it but it is in HA as SlimProto (Squeezebox players) I guess I am not smart enough figure out all the ends and outs of MA

As it says

Make sure that you do not have the “slimproto” (Squeezebox players) integration running in Home Assistant

I do have it installed

Do know if there is a configuration or documentation file for getting slimproto” (Squeezebox players) using slimproto” (Squeezebox players) integration into MA. I keep getting Unable to start the Slimproto server - is one of the required TCP ports already taken ? I am using 3483 for slimproto port CLI port 9090 JASON RPC as 9000

Don’t run the slimproto HA integration and MA’s slimproto at the same time. Disable it in HA.

I disabled and same thing port is in use

Try rebooting after you disabled it.

I did that first thing but what doesn’t make sense is the netstat

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3483 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

I stand buy one of my first replies “I guess I am not smart enough figure out all the ends and outs of MA” then I will add slimproto is above me also. All I wanted was cheap speaker for my workshop because I didn’t want any thing expensive out in the dust and hazards. I guess Bose or Sona that work well with MA. I guess I am done.

It would probably be easier if you actually answered what has been asked.

Everyone thanks for your help. I backed into the fix but I don’t know at what point it was fixed. I re-flashed the ESPHome Squeezelite by RASPIAUDIO (it still wouldn’t load into MA). I deleted MA beta and it still wouldn’t load into MA. I then rebooted HA and it still wouldn’t load. I stopped and restarted MA the one that came from the integration that I had going in parallel to the beta and It loaded with no errors, no more “Unable to start the Slimproto server - is one of the required TCP ports already taken” and now works in MA.
