Hassio-addons/pulseaudio_fix

Hi I have just jumped from May release of Home Assistant to the August release and PulseAudio_Fix ADDON has stopped working. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it to no avail. The error I am getting is:

“[homeassistant.components.hassio] Could not fetch stats for d4868bb1_pulseaudio_fix_dev: Container addon_d4868bb1_pulseaudio_fix_dev is not running”

Since uninstalling it and reinstalling it I am now unable to get it to start within the AddOn page.

This is for the dev branch. I have also tried the major branch too but I get exactly the same error.

Another problem that I am now having is that non of my Synology cameras are present. Its indicating that they are not available in the Dashboard. I found a thread mentioning it could be because the user does not have access to surveillance station within the Synology box. I have checked this and it does.

I don’t know if these two issues could be related, but any help would be greatly appreciated. One thing to note is that I am using the containerised Home Assistant setup.

Many thanks

Steve

I think the problem is stemming from when I start the Add-On, it is trying to start it but dying straight away. If I use Docker Events I can see the following. Is there anyway I can find out why it is dying.

Thanks

Steve

I installed Homeassistant supervised on raspberrypi 4 running on debian.

Please guide how to solve the following issues:-

How do I autostart pulseaudio and connect to bluetooth? I have already installed pulseaudio and I am able to connect to bluetooth speaker manually via the terminal.

It is possible to autostart pulseaudio and connect to bluetooth speaker automatically once the homeassistant is started?

How can I change the default media path?

Kindly guide.
