Google music in HA

Danielhiversen · February 1, 2017, 9:14pm

I have made a component that lets you stream music from Google music to your media player.

The component is here: https://github.com/Danielhiversen/home-assistant_config/blob/master/custom_components/switch/gmusic.py

The config to set it up is here: https://github.com/Danielhiversen/home-assistant_config/blob/master/packages/gmusic.yaml
You need both the input_select and switch part in the config.

It requires that you run 0.38.0.dev0 or newer.
You also have to install this library first: http://unofficial-google-music-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#usage
Run pip install gmusicapi to install it.

Edit: Might only work with chromecast.

CommonBlob · February 1, 2017, 9:25pm

Wow, this is exactly what ive been looking for. Thanks Daniel, great work as always!

frelev · February 2, 2017, 4:48pm

Anyone got this up and running?

I get an error saying it cannot setup switch.gmusic

Danielhiversen · February 2, 2017, 5:11pm

Have you installed gmusicapi? Run pip install gmusicapi to install it.
Do you see any “Failed to log in” error?

Start ipython and try this code:

from gmusicapi import Mobileclient
api = Mobileclient()
api.login(config['user'],config['password'], config['device_id'])

Where you replace the config info with the info you added in your config file.

frelev · February 2, 2017, 5:52pm

Hi
Yes it is installed.

Running ipython gives me:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

Danielhiversen · February 2, 2017, 6:14pm

Replace config[‘user’] with our google email (the same as you have in the config)
config[‘password’] with your password.

api.login(user, password, device_id)

The parameters are described here:
http://unofficial-google-music-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/mobileclient.html#gmusicapi.clients.Mobileclient.login

frelev · February 2, 2017, 6:18pm

Ah, sorry. Never used ipython before.

That gives me:

Out[3]: True

Danielhiversen · February 2, 2017, 6:39pm

I will add more debug info tomorrow.

Danielhiversen · February 3, 2017, 1:23pm

Have added some debug info now.

frelev · February 6, 2017, 7:06pm

Great, thanks
Unfortunately I cannot test this until I can upgrade to 38-DEV without issues.
I´m stuck on 37.1 for now.

frelev · February 10, 2017, 1:21pm

Back on 38-DEV and updated to latest compnents.

Now I have:

Danielhiversen · February 10, 2017, 1:45pm

Just added some more debug info.

But it seams that you have not defined the correct input_select component:

This line https://github.com/Danielhiversen/home-assistant_config/blob/master/packages/gmusic.yaml#L21
indicates that you need to have an input_select called music, and that is defined here: https://github.com/Danielhiversen/home-assistant_config/blob/master/packages/gmusic.yaml#L2

frelev · February 10, 2017, 1:52pm

I have this

input_select:
  music:
    name: Music
    options:
     - " "   # Should be empty
    icon: mdi:music-note
  media_player:
    name: Media player
    options: # entity_ids of your media players
     - "kitchen"
     - "livingroom"
     - "ute"
    icon: mdi:music-note

What I changed was the name Music from Musikk

Danielhiversen · February 10, 2017, 1:55pm

Hmm, and do you have

   playlist: music # entity id of the input select used for playlist

as part of - platform: gmusic ?
https://github.com/Danielhiversen/home-assistant_config/blob/master/packages/gmusic.yaml#L21

frelev · February 10, 2017, 2:05pm

Ok, now it loads the playlists and I can start the music on a player.
But it plays like 1 second on each track then skips.

I´m using Squeezeboxes players

Danielhiversen · February 10, 2017, 2:16pm

Ok, that is a bug in my code.
I have not found a good method to now when the song is finished, and then start the next song.
So the method I am using with Chromecast, is probably not good enough. I will look in to it.

frelev · February 10, 2017, 2:21pm

Hmm
It´s strange, when I click the switch to turn off it continue to play without skips.
How is it handling changing player while switch is on? Maybe it skipped because of sending url to several players?

Also, when turning mediaplayer off it automatically starts again if google switch is on

DavidSpivey · February 13, 2017, 7:40pm

@Danielhiversen

First, let me say that the installation was not straightforward for me, not being involved in linux much myself. I am running 0.38.2 on a Raspberry Pi. I found that on Hassbian (the official homeassistant image for Raspberry Pi), Home Assistant is installed in a virtual environment that cannot access gmusicapi unless it is installed inside the virtualenv. For me the installation was a multi-step process.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip install gmusicapi

After all that jazz, I still have errors in my log. I have verified that I have a correct android_id (by copying from My TUNE Device on android). I also verified all the yaml declarations (had to fix some indentation errors), and that gmusic.py is executable. I really don’t know what the problem is. If it makes any difference, the media player is a chromecast.

davemc · February 15, 2017, 12:05am

Just added this and it worked first time. It seems to keep skipping the track though after about the first 10 seconds, and the only way to stop it doing so is to turn off the slider on the frontend, therefore turning off the music.

Tried to use Kodi for the media player.
