Google Music in HA -- Using AppDaemon

[troy]

@Underknowledge

I’m running HA and AD on FreeNAS so these package names are likely to be different but I needed to install libxml2 and libxslt before I could use the gmusicapi (This was also true when I was using the original GM custom switch)

I did not mention that here thinking it was related to FreeNAS only.

Maybe those package names could provide you a clue if your maybe missing a dependency. This is just a guess though

Edit:
I also say that I’ve still been playing around with the original GM switch. I have not made any headway towards creating a new custom component for GM but I have (I think) learned enough so far that I will be able to add the additional functionality created here back into the original custom component. I was also able to work around the Config Warning so I think we’ll be able to keep that alive a bit longer.

we’ll be able to keep that alive a b

Would be nice as F.
added libxslt but no real change

Probably a Alpinelinux problem

I’m gonna have to start using hass.io just because everybody does. I know I could help figure this out if I actually used it enough to understand more.

This has to install somehow because your using the original GM switch. So gmusicapi will install somehow because it installs in HA.

I’ll post my workaround for the Config Warning by this weekend.

I’ll post my workaround for the Config Warning by this weekend.

@Underknowledge

Sorry I may have said that a bit too soon. I upgraded to HA 92.0 this afternoon and the original GM switch is just causing HA to hang about halfway through startup. It’s not throwing any errors but still HA won’t start even with what I thought was gonna be a workaround.

[troy]

@Underknowledge

This works

{
  "disable_auto_token": false,
  "system_packages": [
    "build-base",
    "libxslt-dev",
    "libxml2-dev",
    "gcc"
  ],
  "python_packages": [
    "setuptools",
    "gmusicapi",
    "lxml"
  ]
}

No errors but I’m still trying to figure out how to create the oauth file.

Edit:
I set up hass.io in a virtual machine and installed gmusicapi to the appdaemon addon using the above config. I copied my configuration for the appdaemon google music app including my existing oauth file over to hass.io and everything does work. I just have no idea how you could create the oauth file using hass.io. Is there a way to get to a terminal inside the appdaemon addon?

Edit 05-02

These file have been moved to github.
The first post has been updated and now includes links to the necessary files

Update 06/01/19:

Please now consider using gmusic as a media player instead

To the custom component. you just forgot to add a __init__.py ? still hoping wheel for lxml takes forever

Ugh… I copied the wrong apps.yaml (I really need to get this in github) but I have made the correction to my post. Please try again with the now (hopefully) corrected files show above your post

@Underknowledge

To the custom component. you just forgot to add a __init__.py ?

Yea I have that already. No luck

Dang almost! Im traveling for work till Tuesday. Ill try to look at this when I get my hotel but might be slow for the next few days

[troy]

@Underknowledge

Ok let’s try this one more time. I did just edit my post and copied directly from my working gmaac.py to this thread. Can you try one more time?

If you still get an error can you please try a few other things like maybe a different playlist. Does anything work from the stations? How about `I’m feeling lucky?

If none of your playlist will work can you make a new playlist containing one song, Then inside gmaac.py around lines 211 and 212 you will the following.

    self.log("Loading [{}] Tracks From: {}".format(len(self._tracks), self._playlist_id))
    # self.log(self._tracks)

remove the comment (#) so it now looks like this and save the file

    self.log("Loading [{}] Tracks From: {}".format(len(self._tracks), self._playlist_id))
    self.log(self._tracks)

Finally try to play the playlist with one song and kindly post the log when it errors.

I’m not sure what Im missing. Thanks for putting up with the head-aches to help me get this working for everyone!

[Underknowledge]

Lol - I think you can imagine that it is also for me a big deal when GMusic is finnaly back to a working state

I dont have the ["I'm Feeling Lucky"] in Playlists
(only when the script did not had the time to overwrite the playlists)

What makes my live easyer - In good old HA manner I always restarted AppDeamon - Not needed as I see

[troy]

@Underknowledge
First most time time saving tip… you do not need to keep restarting appdaemon. Each time you save the files in appdaemon apps it will automatically be detected and appdaemon will reload the app

Now when appdaemon starts or initializes Google Music (before you try to play any songs) Your appdaemon log (related to this Google Music ) should look similar. Obviously your playlist and station names would be different. I see some of this in your logs already posted but please confirm based on my example shown below you should see two groups of list.

• The first list (starting with numbers 1-7) are my playlists saved in Google Music ( this is what the original GM would fetch and play)
• The second list (starting with 72 and skipping numbers) are stations I have added to my Google Music library

Aside from the names does your appdaemon log look similar after initializing Google Music?

@Underknowledge

I dont have the ["I'm Feeling Lucky"] in Playlists
(only when the script did not had the time to overwrite the playlists)

That’s a clue!

I moved I'm feeling Lucky to a separate input_select that should only contain any stations you may have saved to you GM library. If you still see I'm Feeling Luck under Playlists and not in a separate input_select called Stations then you may still be using an older version of a file.

There is a group defined at the bottom of the package.yaml file but that may only appear in Home Assistant if you switch back to the old states UI

Lovelace config for this entities card is shown below:

type: entities
entities:
  - input_boolean.gmaac_connect
  - input_boolean.gmaac_sync
  - input_select.gmaac_player
  - input_boolean.gmaac_power
  - input_select.gmaac_mode
  - input_select.gmaac_playlist
  - input_select.gmaac_station
  - input_boolean.gmaac_load_pl
title: Google Music Control
show_header_toggle: false

Unfortunately I forgot to fix my VPN before I left so I can not do much from the road . They keep me pretty busy when I’m traveling anyways but I’ll at least try to these file up to GitHub.

In the mean time please try replacing all 3 files with the ones (updated again) in this post.

Thanks again

@Underknowledge.
I figured out how to recreate the error.

Can you confirm if your playlist contains music not usually found on google Music but instead contains music you have uploaded?

A little more information for those following along… From the gmusicapi docs

If a user uploads local music to Google Music using the Music Manager, Google will attempt to match each uploaded track to a track already hosted on its servers. If a match is found for a track, the playlist entry key ‘source’ has the value ‘2’, and the entry will have a key ‘track’ with a value that is a dict of track metadata (title, artist, etc).

If a track is not hosted on Google Music, then the playlist entry key ‘source’ has the value ‘1’, and may not have a ‘track’ key (e.g., for an MP3 without ID3 tags).

In my case for example the band “Tool” is normally not available on GM. I have uploaded my “Tool” albums to GM and created a playlist containing only one “Tool” song.

When I try to play this “Tool” playlist I get the same error as you!

@troy

e first list (starting with numbers 1-7) are my playlists saved in Google Music

Only using my music I uploded to GMusic - Thats why there are no stations loaded .

Did’nt do much - you have set the inital to the playlist

That’s it! Give me some time I can figure how to handle this correctly. Just might take longer because of travel.

[Underknowledge]

@troy

That’s it! might take longer

Neat!

[troy]

Seems like @Underknowledge has got this working now also in hass.io
I’ll get everything cleaned up and put on GitHub asap

Edit 05-02

These file have been moved to github.
The first post has been updated and now includes links to the necessary files

[troy]

Update: Version 0.0.2

I’ve been using this daily in a virtualenv and also testing in hass.io.
I rewrote a few things and cleaned up some code. This version works much better!

If you were using a previous version, please replace all 3 files.

Home Assistant Package:
homeassistant/packages/gmaac_package.yaml

Google Music AppDaemon:
appdaemon/apps/gmaac/gmaac.yaml
appdaemon/apps/gmaac/gmaac.py

@Underknowledge

Only thing what is strange that there are no skip buttons on the Receiver

I added prev and next triggers to workaround missing controls in the media player

[troy]

Update 06/01/19:

Please now consider using gmusic as a media player instead
