Apologies for the delay in responding, it’s been a busy week at work.
The 2 main steps i needed to do for it to work were:
- move the bluray player into my DMZ so it was on the same subnet. Even though the rules between HA and the device are identical it didn’t seem to like being in a different ip range or subnet.
- on the player go into the menu and under network settings there is an area for voice control. This needs to be turned on.
After doing those items the media player then shows up fine. it works brilliantly for getting the state of the player, only it updates every 30 seconds, which is a bit long for my liking.
